I'm even against a Remake winning, imagine a non standalone DLC.

Anyway, the DLC won't win, the Remake will win, which is also sad, less sad, as it's an actual game you don't need to have another game to play, but still sad.

Yeah, I feel like Eldtree will get nominated but it’s very divisive to have it nominated, so I don’t think it’ll win. 

I do think the winner will end up being odd this year because the most likely scenarios are for a platformer or part II of a remake winning. We could be surprised but that’s how I am currently seeing it go. 

Games like Genshin Impact and FF14 go into their own Best Ongoing game category, but DLCs can compete on GOTY? Makes literal no sense to me.

Standalone DLCs can be judged on their own, expansion DLCs are dependant of the base game and it's structure. Same for Remakes. In a world where Persona 3 did not exist Reload would easily be the GOTY this year, but that's not the case.

I have put around 700 hours per year on Genshin Impact, each year it gets a whole new country to explore that comes with new mechanics, new story (excellent on that) and a lot of new playable characters and their stories (also usually very good), so it clearly gets content every year to be GOTY worthy. In its current state it's one of the very best games out there.

It really is just silly, to say the least.
