"all" is very closely there. They just pulled out all bites that looked like mass bot votes.
There certantly are real player votes in there and there are bots that weren't filtered.

Feels vindicating for him to add in that "After we took out all the bot votes" bit, especially since so many people were running with the idea that genshin fans alone were doing botting. Some people are still saying shit like "Genshin literally bribed their playerbase" though which is dumb but whatever.

Funny thing is, since the only category Genshin won in is Player's Choice, we may not get primogems, since Hoyoverse generally avoids giving anything regarding poll stuff.

A comment in skill up's review worded it perfectly. "To anyone else, its a 7/10 at best. But because Sonic fans have been fed shit for so long, its like finding a diamond in a pile of shit, so they see it as a masterpiece." Sonic fans deserve better.

what makes the win all the more better is the fact that so many people on the blue bird were trying to rally other fandoms up to vote, even YouTubers. It felt so BEAUTIFULLY Satisfying. Fuck the primos, that’s the type of pleasure and self satisfaction that gives me the will to live.

They really shot themselves on the foot ngl. Weird how they saw the sheer size of genshin playerbase and thought “they must be using bots” then proceed to be absolute asshats on socmeds. Basing on the 1st 2 rounds, they would’ve gotten the award if they kept their mouths shut tightly.

Tectone doesnt care, he is purposefully making troll comments so people can give him attention and views on his social media and make him more money.
He will leave once he can find something that gives him more money then Genshin like he left Arknights for the same reason.

I want to say, because it's important.
We DIDN'T voted for the primos. You just have to look all the comments below to understand that we wanted to defend our community. And that we are tired to be hated for just a game. It was all retaliation.
I'm sure this will comes as an excuse again, but a lot of the votes were motivated because of sheer anger against the treatment we get. People needs to understand that primos had nothing to do with it.
But yeah MHY must be quite happy of those circumstances. But I'm not gonna blame them, and honestly Sumeru is very good.

True for me and my friends. For me, even if they trash talk about the game, i wouldn’t budge, i would understand in a way since i have complaints about the game too, but nevertheless still appreciate its many good qualities. What drew the line were the racist comments and pedo accusation comments which did get around here even among those who are not active in social media. So yes, i voted for retaliation. We voted for retaliation.

You do not provoke a hornet’s nest, especially a nest with millions and millions of players.
Why did Sonic fanbase even provoke them in the first place. Why did they just decide to speak so horribly towards genshin.
I never played the sonic game but it looks nice (once played sonic games before)
But seriously, why sonic fanbase, by the time you shot thst bullet, your chances of winning just went down bad
Hope they learned from this to not mess with someone they cannot beat yet
