Black Myth: Wukong maker calls out PlayStation’s Astro Bot win as Game of the Year: “I came all the way here for fr***ing nothing”

Game Science CEO Feng Ji publicly challenged PlayStation's Astro Bot winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards, criticizing the selection criteria and expressing bewilderment at the decision.

In a detailed seven-part Weibo statement, Feng Ji candidly addressed his team's disappointment, admitting he had prepared an acceptance speech two years in advance. "I came all the way here for fr***ing nothing," he stated, while simultaneously acknowledging the excellence of all nominated games.

Black Myth: Wukong, the first Chinese game to receive multiple major nominations, won Best Action Game and Players' Voice awards. Despite these achievements, Feng Ji questioned the opaque selection process that ultimately crowned Astro Bot as Game of the Year.

"Honestly, I have no idea what the criteria for Game of the Year were this time," Feng Ji wrote, highlighting the perceived lack of transparency in the awards selection. He noted the strong fan reaction, observing that online responses were "mostly through humor and memes, which were hilarious."
