皮克敏手遊《Pikmin Bloom》近年在台灣掀起熱潮,街上不時可見玩家邊走路邊種花,台灣玩家更展現驚人的「課金實力」,貢獻全球52%的消費金額,成為最大市場。不過,有網友發現,遊戲官方公告竟以「中國台灣」稱呼台灣,引發大批台灣玩家不滿,因此揚言刪除帳號、拒玩遊戲。
皮克敏公告稱「中國台灣」網氣炸
這起爭議源自Threads網友的發現,只要將官方公告的語言切換成簡體中文,就會出現「中國台灣」字眼,但切換回繁體中文後,相關字眼卻又消失,讓網友質疑官方在玩兩面手法。更讓玩家無法接受的是,《Pikmin Bloom》目前並未在中國正式開放遊玩。
消息曝光後,迅速引發台灣玩家反彈,紛紛留言怒批「要刪帳號了」、「一點都不想玩了」、「台灣就是台灣」。還有玩家反映,明明手機設定使用繁體中文,最近卻收到《Pikmin Bloom》官方推送的簡體中文通知,讓不滿情緒進一步升高。
面對玩家抗議,遊戲官方隨後悄悄撤下出現「中國台灣」字眼的相關公告,但至今尚未公開說明原因,也未針對爭議作出正式回應,仍難以平息台灣玩家怒火。
台灣玩家憂移動軌跡流向中國
這起事件也讓部分玩家開始擔心,平時遊玩所累積的移動軌跡等個資,是否可能流向中國。《Pikmin Bloom》最初由任天堂授權、美國Niantic開發營運,2025年隨著Niantic遊戲業務出售,轉由Scopely接手,而Scopely早在2023年就被沙烏地阿拉伯主權財富基金旗下的Savvy Games Group收購。此外,Scopely於2026年投資中國遊戲開發商Bokura,騰訊也是Bokura的股東之一,這層間接商業關係也引起玩家討論。
由於《Pikmin Bloom》是一款結合現實地理位置的手機遊戲,玩家透過步行培育皮克敏、種花及挑戰蘑菇,定位資訊是遊戲運作的重要一環。根據官方隱私權政策,遊戲會透過GPS、Wi-Fi熱點及手機基地台取得位置資訊,並蒐集遊戲紀錄、裝置資料;若用戶允許背景定位,即使沒有直接操作遊戲,系統仍可能在背景蒐集位置資訊。
不過,企業之間存在投資關係,並不代表玩家資料會因此流向中國,目前也沒有具體證據顯示台灣玩家的移動軌跡已被傳送至中國。對台灣玩家而言,除了希望官方正面回應「中國台灣」的稱呼爭議,也期待進一步釐清個資儲存地點、跨境傳輸方式及第三方存取權限等問題,消除疑慮。
