I think people are overreacting about the title. If he thinks it's GOTG, then good for him, that's his opinion. I really don't see what the big deal is or why it's considered baiting. Obviously people have different opinions and will disagree, as with any game of the year/generation award.
I disagree with the title, but don't find it offensive at all. It's so easy to ruffle some peoples feathers on this site.
