2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Haven't really been following it all - after reading the article I think maybe its because Astro Bot had a larger audience because its generally more accessible?

Black Myth Wukong had one of the highest concurrent player counts of Steam of all time. The game was very popular in China.

Meanwhile Astrobot's sales figures were lacklustre, according to some reports.

I know a couple of my friends were pumped for it, bought Black Myth Wukong played it for a few days and never touched it again.

They really smashed the marketing for that game.

I think you are right. Its why Fortnite usually wins in categories it is in, because at the end of the day it mostly comes down to a popularity contest.

I mean, I heard people I know in real life discrediting BMW even being nominated because "oh all the Chinese are voting for it." I was like what, you think Chinese Gamers only count for 3/5ths of a Gamer?? I personally wouldn't be surprised if this sentiment was shared with at least some of the judges.

I'm not saying BMW should have won, personally I liked it but it wasn't perfect and I didn't play Astro Bot. It's just crazy to me that people are reacting like this over a video game just because it came from China. They're not acting like that over Marvel Rivals, probably because they don't know it's from China yet, lol.

If they wanted a game with Sun Wukong in it to win at the game awards, they should have nominated Warframe for Best Continuing Game

But its an exclusive, only PS5 players can play it.

I haven't played that Astrobot game (I don't have a PS5) but I am not surprised with it being highly praised honestly.

Astrobot Rescue Mission was awesome, even forgetting about it being VR. It's very fun and well designed, with new ideas all the way through, up there with Super Mario Galaxy to me. That team definitely knows their stuff.
