@@inferno22 the music, A.K.A. the OST, of the game made the meme relevant, which in it of itself is something big knowing how the status videos are made. also it's "how", not "what"
"Sonic fans sent death threats, so I'm glad that they didn't win" Although I agree that death threats are unacceptable, punishing a game and ALL the fans for the actions of some "fans" is not the right way to apply justice, also, despite recognizing that genshin won the award "fair" I still believe frontiers deserved more that award, not only for all the pain and effort that the developers put on it but also for legitimately bringing a great game, and a so needed rebirth.
As someone who's chill with both franchises, why is genshin considered a 2022 game? Even with new updates like Sumeru, this is just gonna be for 3 debate clubs and 2 cool steels Edit: Yeah it might be not so weird having Genshin be in the voting. I'm just concerned about its advantage of being a lot more accessible, but at the end of the day, it's just a popularity vote thing.
Sonic was genuinely not insane this episode. What character development!...until he unequivocally returns to goofing around and punching people into space dust.
Really relatable. Had this happen to me two years ago. Had my digestive organs torn out and shaped into a grotesque rendition of 'The Thinker'. 6/10, really mediocre experience.
Unlike Sega, Mihoyo never asked or promised the players anything, and the players were all busy with new characters and new TCG minigame. It was toxic Sonic fans on reddit who kept falsely claiming bad things about GI players and posted provocative fanarts. Most of them didn't care about making GI win and voted out of spite.

The fact that Sonic would've won says something. If only some peeps in the Sonic community didn't y'know.. poke the bear and provoke Genshin's community, (which can also be equally as toxic, mind you. there was the review bombing incident, after all.) and have the news spread like wildfire, they would've won! And the players were going to get Primogems regardless. Because the players were going to be given Primogems AFTER the game has been NOMINATED for two categories and winning in Players' Voice. (though I can say that category mostly was won out of spite and due to getting provoked.) It wasn't a bribe, nobody and not even the devs themselves said anything to confirm that. Any game would send rewards just for being nominated. It's just speculation by the playerbase that the rewards would be given out. (would've been given out even if they were just nominated tho.) I like both games, but the communities is really making me question how far shit can go downhill that a majority of a community and game can be judged over the actions of some peeps who favors one game over the other.
@@Spyke7566 It wasn't bribing. You're just mad that a tight-fisted company like Sega would never reward its playerbase, except for saying "Thank you guys" on Twitter.
If genshin wins the next player's voice in 2023, we will all live in a dystopian near future where nobody is allowed to play any game expect genshin impact. But it's all up to us to prevent that future, just because genshin won player's voice this year, doesn't mean they will win next year
China has a giant genshin fandom, and you probably know how much ppl already live in china, and for a game be popular in a place with that many people, its VERY hard to surpass the votes of so many ppl
I swear I’m never voting in another Players voice until Genshin Impact is not a nominee. I don’t care for their currency. Sonic has gone SO LONG WITH BAD GAMES, AND WHEN HE FINALLY GETS A DECENT ONE, THOSE SWEATY ANIME KIDS MASS VOTE THEIR STUPID GAME FOR SOME CURRENCY.
the only thing im pissed about is that genshin shouldn't have been an option since it was released in 2020 and these awards are for the game of the year of 2022
Genshin fans voting against Sonic Frontiers purely out of spite for the few that harassed them really felt like an actual case of unfair collective punishment. Genshin Impact didn't need that award-- that award has no meaning to them. G.I., along with other older games, should not have been included because it was released 2 years prior. Sonic Frontiers didn't even get nominated for any other category. All we wanted was for Sonic to get nominated for Best Score and Music, but it got snubbed for "Doom: Rhythm Hell" and "Mike's Rat Breeding Has Led to a Rat Singularity." Now that I got my whining out of the way, here's some disclaimers. 1) I've been proven wrong multiple times that there is no Primogem rewards for winning this category. The only "bribery" was incentives in the form of false promises from other Genshin fans getting the wrong idea and spreading lies throughout the playerbase. 2) Both sides of the vote were also guilty of vote exploitation. The voting system and website was poorly coded, allowing anybody with a Google account to set up a program that reloads the web page and cast duplicate votes for whatever option they want countless times (one Twitter user reported that some exploit testing resulted in about 10,000 bot votes went to Sonic Frontiers within an hour). 3) The one reason that sparked such a sudden and nasty retaliation against Sonic fans during the final round of voting was the shocking spread of accusations from Genshin Impact fans claiming that Sonic fans went too far with the trash talk by delving into racism regarding the massive Chinese player count for Genshin Impact. Sonic fans were not alone in using forbidden language, though, as Genshin fans did respond in similar fashion. So, all-in-all, the real takeaway here is that...... The Game Awards still sucks because it has become just like the Oscars, but for the video game industry.
@@Ren.3.10.11 I didn't even vote, Games Awards in the Players Voice category is too insignificant to get my attention, if it was any other category, maybe I would, but Players Voice? Bah, it always results in a very stupid drama.
Thanks you traveler for our wonderful journey we nominated an award "best mobile game" and "best ongoing" in 2022 here's your 800 primos 4 days in total. What? We also win "player voice" thanks you traveler and take 200 per days as we mentioned.
I think either way if Sonic Frontiers did win just because of Sonic Fans raising their voice. I think the way they would have won would’ve been unsatisfying, because the sheer reason that sonic frontiers votes got support at the start, was because Elden Ring Stray and GOWR fans didn’t make it. The best reason that sonic frontiers could’ve won with to avenge the fallen.
Genshin fans:voting only because they want gifts and in-game currency for free from Mihoyo Sonic fans:voting because this is the way they show love to Sega for making an actually amazing Sonic game in last 10 years
Pretty sure the community didn’t care till Genshin players got attack by the toxic side of the Sonic fandom then the toxic genshin fans fought back. Really both are in the wrong. Genshin shouldn’t be nominated really and fireback. Somic should have not provoked the genshin fans.
Welp I was DEFINITELY PISSED when Sonic Frontiers didn't win! Genshin Impact is litteraly ALMOST THREE FREAKING YEARS OLD! Isn't the game awards supposed to only give the award to a game that came out THAT YEAR!?
@@LeafyJolt atleast I don’t support racist such as sonic fans, god you people just disgust me. Aren’t you being a little hypocritical blindly hating genshin for no reason when it’s a decent game? You have no idea the harrassment and racism the Chinese people faced when the angry sonic fans got mad, sonic deserved what it got
Man, Imagine putting in players voice 3 60 dollar games and a 30 dollar game, but then a free game, of course the free game is gonna win, it has more fans, because it's fucking free.
@@DamslettesSIMP I mean, Minecraft is an exception, it had more than a decade of update and popularity build up, even if it is paid, it obviously had the biggest fandom, it didn't won simply because the Minecraft fanbase doesn't care at the slightest lol Actually, Minecraft is kinda acclaimed nowadays, if it win Sonic fans probably wouldn't even be mad, they're mad because Genshin won, ya know, the "bad gacha game"
Sonic crashing and burning ( again ) Nah but seriously, I ain’t surprised. Have you seen Sonics luck? I’d be surprised if he won anything. The fact the game is actually pretty well liked in the fandom is a huge thing to me haha. Also yea the chaos in the background did NOT help 💀
@@kirbstomped361 your 999 fathers agree, btw did you even know what is sonic? oh and also if sonic fans are furries than a genshin fans its a people who like little anime girls
NO, NO, WE ARE NOT STARTING A WAR OVER AN AWARD, THIS WAS THE SAME CONCEPT THAT HAPPENED WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BACK IN 2020, WE DON'T NEED HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF; YOU START A WAR WITH GI FANS AND THEN WHAT?
Im late af for this but just tbf with Genshin, we get the same rewards for losing or winning. last year we lost a random competition and also got the same 800 primogems that we got when we won so its more like a "thx for voting for us" than "lmao vote and get your gambling dopamine potion"
would be cool, but i doubt we're getting Sonic as a playable character if it did happen. Just doesn't fit the game's fighting style. We'll probably get a weapon or a Chao as a pet.
sometimes... the blue bird app isn't the rightest choice to call for backup. and maybe... the sonic empire isn't big enough to convince many of many to join the cult and help over the vote. :/ (also pretty sad they lost but im gonna still play the good old and nostalgic... mario games.)
The fact that Genshin Impact won over Sonic Frontiers makes me disappointed with society. Sonic Frontiers wasn't perfect but to choose it over Genshin Impact is just plain crazy. Is Genshin really better than Frontiers? Tbh I would have watched The Game Awards but I forgot about it before it premiered.
The fact that it was nominated was weird to say the least considering it is a 2020 game, but the game itself is actually really good: - It has a LOT of content. - The storyline is good. - The gameplay is actually complex once you analyze it. - It is very polished, and it runs smoothly. - It has constant updates, some of which add a lot of free content as well. - The OST is downright amazing. The game itself is really good, is just that people only see the gacha part (I'll admit, the game would be better without it, but even then, the game is pretty solid). That being said, Sonic Frontiers looks fun, and people have said overall positive things about it, but I haven't played it yet (I plan to buy it though).
@@LiveAnywhereElse yeah tbh, you throw away all the Gacha aspect, and you get a game that's very solid. Streamers (unsponsored mind you) who tried it without their bias in the way, are always of opinion Genshin is a very beautiful game, with a pretty fun synergy-focused combat that pushes unity's ability to it's limit. Whatsnot with we literally getting mini Fall Guy, AC Black Flag, Pokemon and even Tower Defense in just one game And yeah, someone gotta be deaf if they listen to Enkanomiya's battle OST, Port Ormos and Faruzan's theme and thought those are not good As for why it was nominated, TGA already mention that ongoing game can be nominated too. So it ain't weird in the sense that they allow it
If you voted Genshin because you genuinely think it’s better then you’re wrong, but also that’s the only vote I’ll accept. If you voted Genshin because you wanted some ingame stuff, you basically let yourself be bribed. I’m not mad, but disappointed. Also I Lied I’m also mad.
Genshin impact is overrated it’s literally Gambling Genshin impact does not deserve to win over sonic frontiers, sonic frontiers is actually a good game, and it’s part of a big gaming franchise, this is just unfair

Exactly. I honestly didn't care Genshin won or not, I voted just because Sonic fans kept trash talking Genshin fans on Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.
@@Ren.3.10.11 I didn't even vote, Games Awards in the Players Voice category is too insignificant to get my attention, if it was any other category, maybe I would, but Players Voice? Bah, it always results in a very stupid drama.
Sonic just fuckin died bruhhh he ain't undefeatable anymore mann💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Thanks you traveler for our wonderful journey we nominated an award "best mobile game" and "best ongoing" in 2022 here's your 800 primos 4 days in total. What? We also win "player voice" thanks you traveler and take 200 per days as we mentioned.
This comment makes no sense.
@@pixelatedink955 it's either my wording or you just never play genshin
@@nothing6388 its the wording. I have in fact, played genshin before.
I think either way if Sonic Frontiers did win just because of Sonic Fans raising their voice.
I think the way they would have won would’ve been unsatisfying, because the sheer reason that sonic frontiers votes got support at the start, was because Elden Ring Stray and GOWR fans didn’t make it.
The best reason that sonic frontiers could’ve won with to avenge the fallen.
Idk what i was about to say, but, am sad cuz Hedgehog didnt won
Sorry my guy, but you wanna know why your/my favorite childhood game got lost?
It's because of our Fans
I didnt Vote But Decided to watch the chaos from both sides and laugh
The memes were fun though

Probably the text at the end of “The day that 2022 “Ended””
*We are doomed once more*
Thankfully it turns out that there was an error with the vote count and sonic frontiers is the actual winner!
The votes were also rigged in genshin's favor for In game currency.
“The funny blue bird thing” always makes me laugh😂
Us genshin players wanted our ten pull
Genshin fans:voting only because they want gifts and in-game currency for free from Mihoyo
Sonic fans:voting because this is the way they show love to Sega for making an actually amazing Sonic game in last 10 years
Sorry bro, but I have to revoke your Chad status
@@DamslettesSIMPno I take away your status

Pretty sure the community didn’t care till Genshin players got attack by the toxic side of the Sonic fandom then the toxic genshin fans fought back. Really both are in the wrong. Genshin shouldn’t be nominated really and fireback. Somic should have not provoked the genshin fans.
Welp I was DEFINITELY PISSED when Sonic Frontiers didn't win! Genshin Impact is litteraly ALMOST THREE FREAKING YEARS OLD! Isn't the game awards supposed to only give the award to a game that came out THAT YEAR!?

Can't believe the sonic fans smh.
Man, Imagine putting in players voice 3 60 dollar games and a 30 dollar game, but then a free game, of course the free game is gonna win, it has more fans, because it's fucking free.
Hence why goty and the other awards only count 10% of the fan votes, people will only vote the games that they've played
Minecraft can easily be cracked tho(biut it's limited) plus it has way bigger fanbase
@@DamslettesSIMP I mean, Minecraft is an exception, it had more than a decade of update and popularity build up, even if it is paid, it obviously had the biggest fandom, it didn't won simply because the Minecraft fanbase doesn't care at the slightest lol
Actually, Minecraft is kinda acclaimed nowadays, if it win Sonic fans probably wouldn't even be mad, they're mad because Genshin won, ya know, the "bad gacha game"
@@Colecionador7162 Chinese Minecraft is free(only in China tho)
Sonic Fans really thought Genshin Impact wins by just cheating, yet they also did the same thing and got lost

Wait did Genshin Impact actually win?
If it did... I hate living so much
Cry about it
It did, but thats not that huge of a deal.
@@silverstar1614 I play Frontiers, and my reaction was like "Woah, Genshin Wins? Eh ok" **minds my own business**

Nah but seriously, I ain’t surprised. Have you seen Sonics luck? I’d be surprised if he won anything. The fact the game is actually pretty well liked in the fandom is a huge thing to me haha.
Also yea the chaos in the background did NOT help 💀

TO ALL GENSHIN IMPACT FANS! CONSIDER THIS, A DECLARATION OF WAR!
NO, NO, WE ARE NOT STARTING A WAR OVER AN AWARD, THIS WAS THE SAME CONCEPT THAT HAPPENED WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BACK IN 2020, WE DON'T NEED HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF; YOU START A WAR WITH GI FANS AND THEN WHAT?
@@cckiller0053 History will repeat itself regardless. If I don't do it then someone else will.
oh yeah? waiting on that part man
And yet Sonic Frontiers sold almost 3 million in its opening month while Genshin Impact has sold 0 copies in 2 years.
Well, it sold over 30 million copies... for 0 dollars tho lol
What copies?
Fr, it's almost like the game is free
LMAOOOO These are some peak rumor my comrades lol
yeah, because it's *FREE* .
We have 60 mil. monthly players too. So we have the numbers.
1:00 WUTHA HEEEEEEEELL OOH MAH GOD
sonic lost because sonic 2006 2 dint release 😔
Im late af for this but just tbf with Genshin, we get the same rewards for losing or winning. last year we lost a random competition and also got the same 800 primogems that we got when we won so its more like a "thx for voting for us" than "lmao vote and get your gambling dopamine potion"
Can't wait for the Genshin X Sonic collab.
Me too!
Genuinely want that to happen, its already happened once with aloy, just hope thay they don't make him as bad as her in game.
@@trollegeeldritchlordofhorr4461 She will get constellations in the future... Hopefully they will improve her kit. 🙏
We have sayu 🗿
would be cool, but i doubt we're getting Sonic as a playable character if it did happen. Just doesn't fit the game's fighting style.
We'll probably get a weapon or a Chao as a pet.
It was just out of spite really
"and thus genshin impact is better then sonic"
me and everyone else: what if we put you in a meat grinder?
Me as a fan of donic and a genshin impact player: Can i help you with thr meat grinder?

And Some idiots are trying to gaslight everyone to it's sonic fandom's fault.
Man, Genshin is from 2020, wtf it doing in the 2022 Game Awards???
Ask minecraft that was also there
Minecraft
sometimes... the blue bird app isn't the rightest choice to call for backup.
and maybe... the sonic empire isn't big enough to convince many of many to join the cult and help over the vote. :/
(also pretty sad they lost but im gonna still play the good old and nostalgic... mario games.)
The fact that Genshin Impact won over Sonic Frontiers makes me disappointed with society. Sonic Frontiers wasn't perfect but to choose it over Genshin Impact is just plain crazy. Is Genshin really better than Frontiers?
Tbh I would have watched The Game Awards but I forgot about it before it premiered.
The fact that it was nominated was weird to say the least considering it is a 2020 game, but the game itself is actually really good:
- It has a LOT of content.
- The storyline is good.
- The gameplay is actually complex once you analyze it.
- It is very polished, and it runs smoothly.
- It has constant updates, some of which add a lot of free content as well.
- The OST is downright amazing.
The game itself is really good, is just that people only see the gacha part (I'll admit, the game would be better without it, but even then, the game is pretty solid).
That being said, Sonic Frontiers looks fun, and people have said overall positive things about it, but I haven't played it yet (I plan to buy it though).
@@LiveAnywhereElse yeah tbh, you throw away all the Gacha aspect, and you get a game that's very solid.
Streamers (unsponsored mind you) who tried it without their bias in the way, are always of opinion Genshin is a very beautiful game, with a pretty fun synergy-focused combat that pushes unity's ability to it's limit. Whatsnot with we literally getting mini Fall Guy, AC Black Flag, Pokemon and even Tower Defense in just one game
And yeah, someone gotta be deaf if they listen to Enkanomiya's battle OST, Port Ormos and Faruzan's theme and thought those are not good
As for why it was nominated, TGA already mention that ongoing game can be nominated too. So it ain't weird in the sense that they allow it
@@silverfan9611 Scaramouche's battle theme goes hard as well.
Sonic will not be able to survive the stench of the Genshin Impact Stans
Honestly I thought genshin died ngl
because you never once parttake in the community and events does not mean it's dead

If you voted Genshin because you genuinely think it’s better then you’re wrong, but also that’s the only vote I’ll accept.
If you voted Genshin because you wanted some ingame stuff, you basically let yourself be bribed. I’m not mad, but disappointed. Also I Lied I’m also mad.
Saying which game is better is completely an opinion, every people has different opinions and so they differ in likes and other things
Btw, genshin would give the currency even if they didnt won so it was purely of spite of genshin fans
@@tajini817 I only said you're wrong about genshin is because I don't want to be found by sonic D:
@@farbencut 👍
yeah, thats seems cannon enough to went down. Still, GG's to everyone.
Genshin impact is overrated
it’s literally Gambling
Genshin impact does not deserve to win over sonic frontiers, sonic frontiers is actually a good game, and it’s part of a big gaming franchise, this is just unfair
Well it's all because of the goofy ahhh drama.
Maybe try to dig a little in Genshin's pity system
Westerners: Gacha bad.
Well, why don't we blame our beloved Sonic Community?
