Why am I forced to argue within the confines of your criteria even if it's stupid? It has nothing to do with how GotY should be judged and it's a ridiculous criteria made because you're used to a certain pricepoint for titles. If you were used to 30 dollar games that would be the requirement and I'd be extolling the virtues of some 60 dollar game and saying it's the best, and you'd talk about how if those 30 dollar games were 60 dollar titles that would mean they'd have higher development budgets and they'd be comparable to the 60 dollar game I'm championing. Using your criteria makes no sense for judging "game of the year" so I don't see why I have to defend it with anything other than what I've already stated.

You agreed with me when I said that if Journey was $60 then it's metacritic would drop signifecently so you kind of already agreed with me that if these games were on equal ground then things would be different, that has been my only point.

All things being equal you'd have to give ThatGameCompany the same budget as every other title and then see who makes the best game. Why does equal ground only factor in on the back end?
All I've agreed with you about is that Journey is at an appropriate pricepoint as it sits now. If it were more expensive it'd be worse value, just like if ME3 was 120 dollars it'd be a worse value then it is now.
