    How can Shadow of ErdTree be a contender for game of the year when it’s a DLC/expansion pack?

      They adjusted the rules this year I believe, they now allow DLCs in GOTY, and also things like new seasons to games. It is dumb, and I personally think it removes what little credibility the game awards had(which wasn’t a lot to me).

      Will catch up on all the adverts that are if interest the next day.

      It’s bigger than lots of full games and has a proper beginning/middle/end. In the old days, it would have just been a sequel.
