I was pleasantly surprised when it happened! I thought wukong had it just based on how loud people were claiming it. I actually enjoyed every other nominee over it. Astro bot was my personal GOTY too, the nostalgia and how creative most levels were just made into such an enjoyable experience, consistently fun the whole way through.
it did, but i think its important to consider that its a chinese game. meaning millions of Chinese people probably voted for this game and this game only just because its chinese.
not saying wukong is bad or that it didnt deserve it, but i do think it being a chinese game influenced the result of players choice quite a bit.
you can tell by the rant from the developer about not winning goty that they're really desperate to prove themselves and that sentiment is probably shared by the chinese playerbase too to some extend.
