I think what we're seeing is kind of important. We have downloadable games getting nominated over big name sequels with massive budgets for mainstream awards. We might be getting a glimpse of the future. Medium range retail releases are dying, killed by the blockbusters, but from their ashes we're seeing better and better download level titles. These games are where the innovation and imagination are coming from, where chances are being taken. It would be awesome to see them gain mainstream respect.
Honestly, I doubt Journey wins GOTY, though I hope it does. It would mean that huge development and marketing budgets aren't the only ways to gain recognition.
