Well, it wouldn't be the first time the critics have been out of touch with what gamers actually want, but I would hope they wouldn't be so out of touch that they would vote what is currently the most divisive game of 2020 in as GOTY.

Well they were out of touch when death stranding didn't win game of year. That's because they were scared of the backlash due to people crying " walking simulator".  If they don't care about some backlash, tlou2 would easily win it, and almost every category it fits into to. 

We're not going to agree, then, since I didn't think much of either game.

And all the divisiviness is about one silly aspect. So certainly on the whole pack haven't launch a better game this year, and I say that having enjoyed and thinking it was much prettier and funnier Ghost of Tsushima.

If you think it was about just one silly aspect, then I don't believe you really understood what the backlash was about.

And I don't see any reason they wouldn't give the GOTY to the, by far, best game of this year, that's right now is TLoU2.

The reason is because it was divisive? There were a large number of people who didn't like it, for one reason or another? It'd also be pretty absurd to witness GoT rank as one of the all-time highest user-rated games on Metacritic and then toss it to a game so polarizing that it couldn't break a 6.0 userscore.
