The Game Awards was a pretty decent affair this year, packed with big announcements and yet more eye-rolling appearances from celebrities and the Muppets. There were a few highlights though, one of them being Baldur's Gate 3 head Swen Vincke's passionate speech before giving the Game of the Year award to Astro Bot, all about how corporate greed is one of the biggest problems facing the industry.
During this speech, Vincke claimed that the winner of next year's award would be a studio that "didn't have to meet arbitrary sales targets" and "didn't treat their developers like numbers on a spreadsheet", basically claiming that games that are made for both developers and players will always stand out in an industry that is increasingly driven by profit. It was a lovely speech, but he's actually catching some heat for those comments.
First spotted by Reddit user Kend7510, it appears as though Chinese gamers have been attempting to review bomb Baldur's Gate 3 following Swen Vincke's speech at The Game Awards. Take a look at the recent reviews for the title, and you'll see that today's total number of negative reviews at the time of writing is 539, which isn't that...
