If the they were actually actually supporting diversity and inclusion they would have loved Black Myth. it shares a cultures heritage. they are not really about inclusion.
The reason it got nominated is because the public pressure was too great and they risked getting budlighted if it didn’t get nominated, instead they are just not going to vote for it to win so they can avoid massive backlash
@@theconductor2969 probably but if it didn’t get nominated at all there would be 0 question of their loyalties atleast now they can state “oh we didn’t think they deserved GOTY” while we know it never got a fair shake and while there will still be backlash it probably wont be as bad as it would have been
I bought it because of all this praise and controversy and it was a waste of money. I’m glad the woke are butthurt though but the game ain’t all that. It sucked

Because it's a good game that refused to "westernize" itself and didn't worship their "virtuous" world views (They hate admitting that). Never forget that some "inclusive" people tried to downplay this game's sucess by using the argument that most of the sales are from china therefore it shouldn't count.

Remember Polygon's manchildish tantrums and smearjobs against the then upstart indie developer Destructive Creations for their debut piece of fiction called Hatred literally a decade ago. Current Year, and Destructive Creations is still present and financially stable in their own merits.
These are the same people who complained that Wukong didn’t have female representation, but didn’t even come close to making it to Bajie’s chapter where you faced off with the Spider Queen and her daughter.
Putting BMW in the GOTY category is to protect whatever remaining credibility they have left to those who still watch their award show. BMW doesn't need them; they need BMW. It doesn't matter anyway with how their voting system works. Game science is just ignoring them but they just can't leave it alone.
Every time the buzzwords are used, all I think about is being in an argument with a child who knows no other insult other than calling me a "dummy, bighead" 😂 I don't even think they know the meaning of the words they use 🤦🏾♂️
I mean Stellar Blade for some reason didn´t make the nominee list for GOTY award only category for best music. I believe either that game or Black Myth Wukong should secure the win because a lot of hard work went into both. Games that cater to people who actually play them and know exactly what they want leading to positive reviews of success.
Calling it now, the panel is gonna vote Astrobot as GOTY and defend it by saying some BS along the lines of "It was a best seller," "it's enjoyed more and rated better than Black Myth," and "A dlc shouldn't win GOTY"
@thepikminbrawler1746 nothing against Astrobot, just I see it getting GOTY out of their pettiness and refusal to vote for anything else that deserves it also that they refuse to acknowledge as good.
Yeah, I don't see it winning. They have 90% of the vote. And they changed the rules so they could put the Elden Ring DLC into the category just to have something else....
The bigger W of all, confirms we, the Real Gamers, are being heard. The fact China and Japan are also marketing Woukong for the 2026 match with Japan while the announcement at the same time was icing. Great video YF.
Justice league DELUSIONAL Edition. Wukong, is a massive example how Game Journos promotes stupidity for money. They only pile flop after flop trying to cancel a game because isn't a DEI product in any possible way. Butthurted 24/7.
So ... giving the game a low score because of some manufactured sexism drama, then turning around and saying the game doesn't deserve a nomination because of the low score ... this is some "there's weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" shit.
You don’t understand how two words can be trademarked? Bruh the words apple, sky, work among other examples of the most ubiquitous words in the english language have been. It is absurd that people can actually own words.
Wish a campaign would start where a whole bunch of us buy the game, suffer for an hour or two, then request a refund two days later. The excitement followed by the disappointment in player count is everything that studio deserves
Wait... Wukong was made with Tencent money, they should be happy and celebrating that the Chinacommunist party is involved in this. Ah no wait! They hate we enjoyed this and there is no DEI involved.
That has to be a loss leader for epic to try get more people over there. Maybe the download bandwidth isn't that expensive, but add transaction fees it has to be slim to no profit.
Game awards trying to pull a grammy/ocsar. Nominate popular games and then shaft ppl at the end. They nominate so ppl will watch. Don't watch, get news from flash on who won. Vote with your viewing time.
Leave it to the rebellious Monkey to come out of the stone work and absolutely destroy everything in his path. Just like in his myth, you can't contest Monkey.
Blackmyth Wukong sold over 20 million copies in just 2 months, Players rated Wukong over 95 positive scores on Steam, with over 700 thousand players rated Blackmyth Wukong. Players spoke with their wallets, and the majority loved Blackmyth Wukong.
China has a population of 1.4 billion. They ate Wukong up those sale numbers are insane. Definitely only sold that much because of the Chinese backing for it
@Childofbhaal Monkey King Wukong is a childhood hero for millions of Asian people. Games won't sale if the game did not meet the expectation for the players who play the games. No matter what country or nationality you are. All players are playing the game for fun and be entertaining. Blackmyth Wukong, delivered the game most Asian, especially Chinese players wanted to play a highly made, well crafted game about the monkey king, Sun Wukong in a AAA console gaming. Not just Chinese players enjoyed this game. There over 2 millions views on some Vietnmese players live stream Blackmyth Wukong. Many of them praising Blackmyth Wukong that gave them nostalgia feeling back to the childhood memories lanes. Blackmyth Wukong resonance with millions of fans in Asia.
Over 2 million concurrent players played Blackmyth Wukong on Steam for the 1st day and remain with the historical record on Steam for single-player game to had over 2 million concurrent players who played the game in the 1st week Blackmyth Wukong luanched on Steam.
