The gist of it seems to be a few Chinese gamers are upset that Black Myth: Wukong didn’t win game of the year and combined with a bad translation made it seem like Sven, who was presenting, instead of his anti-greed speech was translated into basically saying that he knew who was going to win, like he knew beforehand, and game sales aren’t important, and some took that ask he was mocking Black Myth for not winning.
Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.
I mean, it’s a blip but they were trying.

I’m pretty sure nationalistic pride is also a factor. Wukong is not just a game they like, it’s their game.
But, also, why Astro Bot?
Your right, it should have been belatro
Balatro is the objectively correct choice.
Because the Game Awards hates indie games.
It Takes Two won 2 years ago.
That is no indie game.
so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?
“Indie game” is not a genre…
I don’t know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn’t count It Takes Two as an indie title.
You’re*
Learn basic grammar, FFS. You make yourself look like a 12-year-old with learning disabilities by failing to get simple words right.
Have you played Astro Bot? It’s phenomenal. It is the best non-Mario 3D platformer ever made. And possibly in the Top 3 if you include Mario.
And also a PS5 exclusive. Eww
That has no relevance to how good and deserving of an award it is.
The nostalgia was also a lot of games that have languished lol it just reminded me how many games Sony has abandoned or lost the thread of.
Cry about it… Astro Bot was fucking awesome.
And it’s also made by Sony who have a lot of money
“Big company, therefore manipulation” is one hell of an argument my dude
These pathetic conspiracy theories should’ve died out in the 90s.
The people who review the games are the same people who vote for the winner, and Astro Bot was the best reviewed game of the year.
I understand being upset if your game didn’t win, but your game came out the same year as Baldur’s Gate 3. I mean come on, you had to know…
