When nominated for a prestigious award but ultimately come up short, it’s essential to maintain a resilient facade, offering genuine congratulations to the winner while deliberately avoiding any further discussion about the outcome. Despite lacking explicit guidance, Feng Ji, CEO of Recreation Science, a Chinese game developer, and creator of their popular game, was surprised to learn that it had been beaten in the Game of the Year category at The Game Awards on Thursday by.
Feng, who goes by Yocar on Weibo, shared a lengthy and introspective post recounting his experiences at The Recreation Awards. Acknowledging the game’s achievements in the Finest Motion Recreation and Gamers’ Voice categories, he expressed mixed emotions regarding the Game of the Year (GOTY) loss, revealing that he had even prepared an acceptance speech two years prior.
The four nominations – Best Motion Picture, Best Artistic Direction, Best Film Direction, and Game of the Year – marked a first for a Chinese game, said Feng with well-deserved pride. While struggling with pain? Transcending former limitations, yet surrendering to the liberating power of reality.
“The nominees this year were all unique, but frankly, I still struggle to discern the criteria for Game of the Year.” I’m stuck in a rut feeling like I’ve accomplished everything by chance, without any real effort or recognition.
While some might contend that Feng and the Recreation Science team required a solid understanding of the year’s recreation trends to select the top six finalists, Notable for being the first Western-style, AAA console game developer from China to achieve significant success, HoYoverse’s TiMi Studio Group has seemingly struck gold with its Genshin Impact, as its triumph at The Game Awards demonstrates. Feng’s reputation for being unshakeably committed to achieving the ultimate goal was well-deserved, as he openly acknowledged his intense desire and eagerly anticipated claiming the top prize.
“With the latest gaming developments fresh on my mind, I’ve witnessed a significant wave of disgruntlement and discontent among players – often conveyed through wry remarks or ironic undertones that left me chuckling.”
“I fully comprehend the emotions and empathize with the frustration that stems from a sense of dignity and confidence rather than pain or ill will.” It’s natural to feel disappointed when your confidence isn’t matched by external recognition. I penned my Recreation of the Year acceptance speech two years prior – a prophetic exercise in futility, as fate had other plans and refused to grant me the opportunity to deliver it.
Salty! While the tone of Feng’s feedback might have been misinterpreted due to translation issues. Readers’ opinions on Feng’s Mandarin submission are mixed, with some interpreting its tone as humorous self-deprecation, while others perceive it as boastful or even bitter.
Feng’s uncensored online outbursts have already landed him in scorching hot trouble on more than one occasion. In the final year, controversy erupted at when IGN exposed a long-standing culture of sexism, highlighting the CEO’s use of derogatory, misogynistic language in certain social media posts.
While Feng’s online presence often showcases a fiery passion and unapologetic outspokenness, it’s precisely this quality that has garnered her a devoted following among fans worldwide. The submission’s unpolished tone could seem like petty resentment and a violation of industry protocol – but perhaps that’s exactly what was intended, and the desired outcome lies in its provocative nature.
