Who gave this game GOTY?

[JIMSL1CE]

I can't find any reference to this game actually having been awarded Game of the Year by any publication
Edit: Looks like it won "Best German Game", while the same publication gave GOTY to This War of Mine. This game did not win GOTY.

I don't know

[JIMSL1CE]

I really can't find a source of this game having ever won Game of the Year, did they self-proclaim this?

Some dude in another thread said it was some german website

[Leinad Reign]

It was this site here:
https://deutscher-computerspielpreis.de

Title goes for "best german game 2015"

[Macabruh]

eh Goty these days means as much as "has all the DLC included", well apart from that idiotic Borderlands 2 Goty.

They just deleted my thread about this, lol. I had a 3 page thread about this being "game of the year" and now it is deleted.

I just read that website and they didn't win game of the year, they won best german game. On their site, I would consider game of the year, best international game. Which was this war of mine for 2015. They 100% did not win game of the year.

That's what I took it to mean. The first DUNGEONS had a GOTY edition. DEAD ISLAND had a GOTY edition. I'd be shocked if either ever won a GOTY award from any publication with a circulation larger than "me and my bros."

Those things use to be called platinum version and they happened when they sold 1 million copies.

Don't see why it matters that much. It's a fun game.

Yeah, precisely. Plus, it sounds better and more understandable to me than "Scholar of the First Sin" or "Warmastered Edition". Those could mean anything really.

Though I will agree that it should've been called "Complete Edition" or something to that effect.

It makes the game sound more special, it doesnt really mean anyting.

The post about this not having won GOTY was removed, they never won GOTY & are falsely advertising that they are. They are wiping away the evidence...

[Drakken]

This is why i am here, based on the very average reviews this is a big lie..

They could have called it many titles to convey the message that it was a full dlc edition, such as;
Ultimate Edidion
Definitive Edition
Complete Edition
But they chose to advertise it as something it is not to mislead the consumer, it's not a GOTY if it didn't win a GOTY, now people are going to buy it under a false pretense & instead of addressing this, the devs/publisher are deleting the disagreeing threads

Why do you guts care that much? Its just the name. You dont buy games because they are 'game of the year' but because you like them. I agree 100% but its just a name.
