Don't forget TGA is mostly an advertisement show. They have to act accordingly. Action-Adventures and Action RPGs are what they like to nominate and award. But even if it would be a serous show that really wants to nominate and reward the actual best games of the year, somewhere you have to draw the line with indies. Indies made by a single homebrewer that nobody ever heard of but scored very high, simply don't make sense to award or nominate (maybe make a new category: the best games nobody heard of). That was the most exterme example but Indies need some weight (i.e. be known, tested by several known reviewing media) to be considered, I agree with that. Also, what's logical to me is that a PC-only game will never win the GOTY. Consoles is where the music plays!
