Chinese Gamers Are Trying To Review Bomb Baldur's Gate 3 Over Swen Vincke's Game Awards Speech
Just funny and dumb.
Still has 96% recent and 96% overall positive reviews and an "overwhelmingly positive" overall rating.
I don't think they're making much of a dent. The article is pretty unclear though on why Chinese gamers are mad, other than that there was a possible "dodgy translation."
I mean, it's a blip but they were trying.
The gist of it seems to be a few Chinese gamers are upset that Black Myth: Wukong didn't win game of the year and combined with a bad translation made it seem like Sven, who was presenting, instead of his anti-greed speech was translated into basically saying that he knew who was going to win, like he knew beforehand, and game sales aren't important, and some took that ask he was mocking Black Myth for not winning.
Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.
I'm pretty sure nationalistic pride is also a factor. Wukong is not just a game they like, it's their game.
But, also, why Astro Bot?
I understand being upset if your game didn't win, but your game came out the same year as Baldur's Gate 3. I mean come on, you had to know...
Is that with Steam's "recent off-topic activity" system turned on, or off?
Steam introduced something where if they see a large scale of reviews in a short period that express thoughts unrelated to the game itself, they exclude those reviews from the default view of the page.
