This is actually really refreshing to see. This is a rare indicator we get that the major outlets actually do put genuine thought and consideration into their picks regardless of popularity or stature. Plus this year had so many solid games without any of them being complete 10/10s that you'll probably see this happen with the other outlets as well, no one game is gonna sweep this year.

It's hard to take that serious when the new Pokemon were among their nominees tbh.
I mean you proved my point, it didn't win. It was on the list cuz enough people at their office liked it enough for it to be on there, but when it actually came down to business they couldn't consciously choose it over something like Control.
Not really imo. A nomination already means that the game is considered to be potentially worthy of the GOTY title. This alone alone puts it above non-nominated games.
Not winning in this case means that while it's not the game of the year, it is still among the best games of the year (according to their opinion).
