Would've been equally weird to give the developer of the year to someone other than the developer of the GOTY.

I don't dissagree with that sentiment. I just find the idea of the seperate Developer of the Year award to be too close in criteria to the Game of the Year, especially when those developers are the developers of the Game of the Year nominees. They're basically getting nominated for the exact same thing twice.

It shouldn't be Developer of the year but actually Game Director of the year. Because you can be a great Director/Designer without creating the GOTY due to budget constraints.

Actually games should have the same categories as movies with sound design, art, writing, directing etc.

That's an idea I can get behind. Another idea would be not making the awards an afterthought, like they were at the show.
