If the point is to award what public likes, why not use sales instead? 

I doubt even 10% of people who bought any of those games bothered to vote, in reality most of them must not be even aware of gaming award shows, so how can a intenet poll be a true representation of what public likes ?

Of course, be prepared to see Call of Duty winning on yearly basis because that's what general public likes

If that was the case, CoD would have won people’s choice this year, but it didn’t, Tsushima won. Just because CoD games sell well doesn’t mean that most of the gaming population thinks CoD is Game of the Year.

Well on that note, seems PS fans are the bulk of voters. If we give the audience more sway PS exclusives will win every year. So in that regard, maybe a panel of judges isn’t the worst thing in the world.
