Game of the Year WTF?

[Heresy]

How does some Monkey-Man Souls like game that no one has ever heard of win GOTY? Steam user base has evolved into some kinda trash worse than console casuals.

Good games????!!!!!!

I have already bought the best game coming out of PRC years ago. Of course, it wasn't this overrated game.

Just to remind you, that BM: wukong game is mediocre at best. Its value has been inflated by the baseless hype, like Dogecoin.

Read below. I am just saying what it is:

Yes, the game is good. Boss fights are varied and it's highly skill based. It is not a mediocre game.


Also listening to a gaming journalist? They are the ones who hate gamers. Why should we care about their opinions?

Now while the game was really popular in China, it still had a ton of players during the hours in the western world.
Those people could very well have voted on the game.

So, it is TOTALLY FINE from now on that AS LONG AS a good game comes from <you know where that is>, it can take Steam's GOTY awards easily.

As if there are not several other good games from many other countries coming out every year.

And i emphasize the word "GOOD".

There were not only good games but also GREAT games from several different developers, in 2024. But they didn't get the hype because they were NOT from a particular country where Steam should have a specific version to be allowed.

You care too much. Awards are not worth anything. If there are good games from many other countries then go play them. Do you know how many good games do not get any awards? A lot. And yet, that does not stop anyone from playing them...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yes. It is totally fine that a Chinese title won GOTY. Even if you personally didn't like it as much as other entries. If you don't like that you're always free to host the ☎need4naiim☎ Game Awards and announce whatever game you want as the winner. A Chinese game won the Steam awards once. One time. Come back and say something when it happens multiple years in a row and I MAY acknowledge there is a problem. But as it stands there is none. Because it happened once, with a game that legit deserved it.

And it's especially weird that a game made by a Chinese company, based around a really popular Chinese folk myth. . . was popular with Chinese game players. Of which there are a lot.

Totally shocking, it's obviously a conspiracy of some sort. /s

Of course, you are TOTALLY OK with the fact that the outright most populous country can dictate which games can get those awards. . .

. . . which mean basically nothing.

Yeah, I'm totally ok with stupid internet popularity contest awards being driven by popularity. Just like the "goty" winners every year have been.

(and no, I haven't played Wukong. No interest in it, the whole "souls-like" genre does nothing for me.)

Yeah, I don't think we're going to establish some kind of "game of the year electoral college". I don't think that's necessary or useful.

I don't really understand why people get so worked up over all these awards.
- if you enjoy a game, it winning or not winning won't change that.
- if you don't want to play a game, it winning an award isn't going to change that either.
and most important
- if you like a game, and it wins an award? That doesn't make you cooler. Nor does it justify the time/$ you spend on the game.

Funny thing is I've not seen a single person from Ukraine complaining about the Steam awards and STALKER 2 not winning. Their population is a 10th of the states.

it isn't FUNNY.

Because these two countries have the same default Steam version available in their countries.

UNLIKE some other. (out of 200+ countries, just ONE of them requires a different Steam version)

Ok man, no need to go ape. We are just monkeying around.

It's pretty funny.

Is the Steam version China is using from Steam? Yes? Then it's still a part of the Steam awards.
