Via the post, which can be found here, and has been roughly translated via Google and edited for clarity, Feng Ji, who also served as producer on the game, described a misunderstanding of the criteria over what can win GOTY. In particular, he appears to have written:

"I came here for nothing."

In a seven-pronged post, the CEO discussed the immense amount of work that was put into the game, as well as some of the rationale behind why they embarked on this journey. "There are still many people in this world who (don't have a) chance to play so-called (AAA) games," they wrote in part. "Many people who have never used consoles and computers, many people who feel confused, (pained), and even desperate about the current (world), and many people who are suffering from injustice.

"I think, the more this is the case, the more we need to create better games and create content that allows more people to feel truth, goodness, and beauty."
Additionally, he made reference to having a speech prepared as far back as two years ago for the event they did win. That part is a bit less clear due to translation.
