| Oct 25, 2016 at 14:42 | comment | added | Pete | I found "Deus Ex Machina, Game of the Year, 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition" on steam, and in the description it reads: "Hailed as a breakthrough in the development of video games, Deus Ex Machina won Game Of The Year, and is currently the subject of movies, books, exhibitions and even university courses". Doesn't say "which" GOTY it won though :) | |
| Oct 25, 2016 at 4:53 | comment | added | muru | @jojo In the list of GOTY awards linked in the answer, the British Academy Games Awards section lists Deus Ex as the winner for 1999/2000 PC. No mention of Rising Storm though. Ah, my bad. Deus Ex Machina is not the same as Deus Ex. | |

| Oct 24, 2016 at 21:31 | comment | added | Vemonus | @jojo Ah, it may be then, but it looks like GOTY is more legit than I had originally thought, at least. | |
| Oct 24, 2016 at 21:30 | comment | added | childe | From the Steam Store page, which lists games with the GOTY edition, some games like Deus Ex Machina: GOTY and Rising Storm: GOTY are not listed anywhere on the Wikipedia page. I'm still looking but I get this feeling it could be just a marketing gimmick | |
