The past two years of Steam Awards have shown that it's just farce lol It'll continue to be a joke from now on.

So just because your games are not winning it's a farce?

But tell us, what are the right choices?

[On Vacation]

Labor of love is the only category I more often then not find disappointing, because it's a great category to highlight developers that are consistently pushing out new content and refining their game, often times for free...you know as a labor of love. But hey at least most innovative game play actually made some sense this year unlike last year's winner Starfield.

Game of the year winner....I feel like it's relatively easy to call who it will be every year and this year was no exception. Heck, I don't even think it was a competition.

Nobody loves this game. Outside China, it sold less than SW Outlaws and DA Veilguard. Let alone actual great games like Metaphor ReF, STALKER 2 and P3 Reload.

Numbers you don't like =/= propaganda. It seems like Wukong beat them all and you have no evidence of the contrary. Buuut I will be waiting, if you ever have any...

By this logic Genshin Impact & Co also "beat" such "awful" games like FF14 Online or
GTA Online.

Once again, such numbers are usual for chinese games, nothing special. wukong is the first time when such game was released on Steam. They would win GoTYs and labour of love every year easily (as long as Steam allows chinese anti-west bots here).

Show me numbers outside china cause STALKER 2 and Metaphor and RDR1 are being played by people worldwide, not just one country.

Who cares? All numbers I have showed are global facts. You not liking it doesn't make it my problem. I also know what you've been doing in the wukong forums. smh...

Oh so it's "who cares" now? You cared enough to push chinese tencent propaganda.

What you showed are estimates by 3rd party site cause Steam hides real numbers since ages ago.

I gave you factual numbers, your post history tells us that you're being upset everywhere about it. Again, your unhappiness about facts does not make it MY problem.

Once again, show me numbers what people worldwide play and think what GOTY is, not Chinese only.
If we start caring for china only then all games are trash except chinese medieval MMOs, wukong, Genshin, fortnite and dota 2. They'd constantly win GOTY and labours.

This year all I saw was Steam China 2024 awards. Now I wanna see usual Steam Awards 2024.

Surely if the Chinese were voting for their games then all categories would have been won by Chinese games...

So since you like 3rd party data estimates:
https://www.togeproductions.com/SteamScout/

Metaphor ReF (2679460)
43.49% reviews in English

Persona 3 Reload (2161700)
50.71% English

Red Dead Redemption (2668510)
63.43% English

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl (1643320)
41.5% English
20.44% Ukrainian

It also correlates with sales data published by GSC
https://gameworldobserver.com/2024/11/26/stalker-2-sales-1-4-million-copies-steam-revenue

Black Myth: Wukong (2358720)
Whooping 89.14% in Chinese
Only 6.30% English

So roughly only 10% of buyers are from other countries yet shills try to tell us this tencent game is as popular worldwide as CP2077 was and should win WorldWide Steam GOTY.

P.S. I was a bit lazy and only copied English lang. while other Western languages obviously added to % of non-chinese.
The only game above where Chinese is also heavily present is Metaphor with 33%.

Should non-English speaking users be outraged when some game that has 80% reviews in English wins game of the year?

Eh, it's hardly goty. In fact, all the non-controversies around it and pokemon hid a lot of it's actual flaws on launch.

Infinite loading screen topics were buried by trolls wanting to talk about Nintendo copyright and whether they'll sue. There were game breaking bugs that killed most server save files in weeks if the server was remotely active. As players had their profiles start to be corrupted if the global server file save size got to be over 22MBs, and new players couldn't join the server either in the wake of all the old players effectively being banned because there was a palbox limit that was often hit within the first 3 days of the server going live.

The Pal starving to death glitch was annoying too, took forever for it to get just kind of fixed. Not to mention the cheaters that could permanently brick your character, bypass faction permissions to delete your base/palbox, steal your pals, and crash/wipe the server too.
