Astro Bot defeating Wu Kong, how?

[XGear]

We all know it is impossible to happen. Clearly some kind of retaliation against oriental developers that is making much more impressive games.
The law is clear, not Woke not Goty.

Soyny bribed TGA to make Astrobought win. Wu Kong won the player's voice award for TGA so it's clear which gamers prefer.

Wu Kong is a Chinese game, and Astrobot is Japanese. Anyone who has studied history knows about the rivalry between these two countries.
After Wu Kong went against the woke DEI industry, with the game generating controversy with sweet baby shaking the internet and making Woke Journos and developers try to boycott Wu Kong, the woke developers planned from afar the revenge that came slow at the Awards.
If they gave a goty award to an unpopular WOke NA game, they would obviously be ashamed by game community, Wu Kong was the owner of the popularity there at Goty event, they even gave some awards to Wu Kong to hide the real intent of the final act, would be too much "visible" the plan of not give GOTY becouse of vengeance.
Astrobot GOTY sounds like, "since we can't beat Wu Kong popularity by North American woke games, we'll at least give Goty to the Japanese, the Chinese's rivals."
It's worth remembering that the Chinese are being more popular in game industry than the North American woke games market, Chineses are creating beautiful, captivating and immersive games. Wu Kong is clearly the real Goty, that shined at the event and in the community's mouth.

To summarize the novel, while both are "Oriental", the provocation was to give the GOTY to an unpopular Japanese game as a form of insult, instead of increasing the fame of Wu Kong and Chinese developers, base of "Chinese" games, which they think it might insult and destroy the Woke market.
as a form of punishment to the Chinese for not following the standard of creating woke diversity games and at the same time making such games look like real political trinkets.
While WOke games close several studios, games like Stellar Blade and Wu Kong sell millions and please players of all genres elevating their popularity on game market.

I mean.. I feel like if they wanted to punish wukong for not being woke (which I don't really think people care about?), they wouldn't have included it in the goty lineup in the first place. I doubt the TGA jury cares about stuff like a game being from china.

Also, Astro Bot not being popular is a crazy take. Probably didn't sell well in china due to a lack of advertising, but I see a lot more higher scores from Astro Bot compared Wukong. But I think people should try both to better form an opinion. A man who eats fish will think fish is his favorite food, after all.

A:
Even if you don't believe that the North American Woke game market do care about the popularity of Chinese not woke games, they really do care, this is already a reality. Maybe you haven't followed the controversies of political and ideological movements that surrounded the launch of Wu Kong and how there were several backlash attempts claiming that the game wasn't "Diverse" enough.
Some crazy people even suggested a "Monkey Woman" to create diversity in a game based on a famous and solid Chinese tale.
As for Wu Kong being included in GOTY, the event organizers simply had no choice, it was that or face the fury of all the gaming channels that clearly covered Wu Kong's success in the countries in which it was released. Wu Kong reached an unbelievable number of players compared to famous games. It was impossible to leave him out without creating chaos.

A: As much as Astrobot is a cute and good game to play with your children, there is no way to compare it to Wu Kong, Final Fantasy and others that competed for Goty. If he didn't win to insult Wu Kong, then I can only think that Sony reached into their pockets to make this possible.

Wait oriental kind of means middle east, or west Asia, China, Japan Korea, that is east Asia. Even so, you should say China, TGA loves Japan, I feel US media has a huge problem with seeing China win anything, not that BMW must win, if you read enough US/UK media in your lifetime, you know everything China does will be considered bad, shady.

No doubt Astrobot is an excellent game, but so were many Mario games, when was the last time a similar Mario game won TGA GOTY? Mario games don't just sell, their exclusivity sells consoles, that's how big they are.

wukong feels like exactly what it is: a cheap chinese knockoff. It's fine, but it doesn't deserve goty unless you have never played real games, like the chinese people.

I get it. You prefer western slop like concord and dustborn which are more accessible to "special needs groups"
