Idk, heck, Ubisoft (as well as many others) was part of the advisory board so if they disagreed, I am sure it would have been taken into question so who knows... Maybe they think that Nintendo is one big entity in the eyes of most people?

very biased jury, almost all americans and only 1 japanese. No other coutnries than first world countries. Poligon should be banned there altogether 

It is mostly a western awards show (it's being done in America and as far as I know they are presenting it only in English) so I can understand the minimal Japanese presence there. As for having only first world countries, that makes perfect sense. They are the biggest markets for gaming, they have the most experience with buying/playing/rating games. Maybe if some other countries could become a really good market for games and have some respected critics they would deserve a place, but as it is now they don't. I can agree on Polygon though

They are not the biggest market, china and south korea are above many of the countries and none of them is represented. China is the second biggest market in fact.

Also they should marketing it as an anglo american panel if they only reprent this view
