That happens on here a lot, but I was glad to see some votes went to games like It takes two, which I feel deserved what it got.
The thing is, most on here are just going to vote with what they liked before or what IP still exists. Metroid was going to get some, simply because ppl here love that IP and have also waited a long time for a new sequel, so that was going to get votes without a doubt, while other indie titles were likely to be swept aside, simply because they aren't an existing and beloved IP.
I remember voting for Undertale way back in 2015 on here and afaik it didn't really win anything, because at that time, there were existing or bigger IP's out there that were played as favourites and naturally won.
We would have to have a year of gaming where there is no beloved and big AAA game from the big 3, for smaller less popular or known indie titles to win more awards, but I'd hazard a guess that those votes won't be out of a want to vote for them, but more just to fill in the form (but even then, it sounds like not many even complete the form fully on here).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
