This dev sounds ridiculously arrogant, like I think I heard he pre-wrote his acceptance speech two years before the game was even out? That would be arrogant even for Miyazaki and Elden Ring, when it was pretty much a shoehorn.

I use Chinese forums occasionally, Wukong was wildly popular over there and considered a shoe-in for the win. Astrobot was okay but a lot of the appeal is just "I recognize that reference!" and the story is non-existent.

Personally I would've given it to Balatro or Wukong, but GotY basically always goes to a Japanese or Western AAA game so they were both out from the beginning
