Official Chinese Players Review-Bomb Baldur’s Gate 3 Because Swen Vincke Announced Astro Bot As GOTY

[Gwenievre]

Before announcing Game of the Year, Swen vehemently criticized the industry, calling out modern-day game development and trend-chasing and explaining why the industry needs a remake.

Sales not important? Then player review must not be important either. Take this negative review. GOTY doesn’t have to meet sales targets? I’ll never buy Larian games again,” writes one Steam user (English translated).

However, it bears mentioning that a majority of Chinese players (who have been leaving bad reviews on Baldur’s Gate 3) may have seemingly misunderstood the context of the speech. Swen’s words cast a lens on the industry as a whole, and don’t fixate on a particular point.

Crazy. Black Myth Wukong was mid. A pretty game that was so repetitive and incoherent that I had to really force myself to finish it. Didn't have to do that with BG3 and BG3 is substantially longer
