Figured I would post the actual totals for everything on here. It looks like the both anon and logged in users agreed pretty closely on the top 2 and the rest wasn't too far off.

Thank you for this data, AxumBlade. :) Very good to see consistent results between Anon & Logged In users. Astro seems to be holding a comfortable lead, though I remain only cautiously optimistic that a cutesy platformer could actly win GotY at TGA.
Helldvers 2 wins GOTY at the TIGA awards
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/helldivers-2-wins-game-of-the-year-at-the-2024-tiga-awards


GotY competition this year is looking awfully competitive...and little bit unexpected?
Astro Bot, Wukong, Balatro, and HellDivers 2 all tied for first place. (Each with three awards (out of 18 total).) Final Fantasy isn't putting up much of a fight at the moment...only has one award so far. Same goes for Metaphor. Results are still pretty early, though, so can't really say much honestly.
Should have a clearer idea on how everything will settle out 7d from now. All I can say for now is that (i) HellDivers & Wukong are significantly overperforming expectations, (ii) Astro is doing about as expected, and (iii) JRPGs (Metaphor & FFVII) are signficantly underperforming. It should be noted that Wukong is doing so well solely b/c Readers' Choice awards. It is completely dominating these awards...which doesn't bode well for Wukong ending up as the top winner this year (in total number of awards, nor at TGA, since outlets are going to it).
My odds for TGA GotY have been adjusted substantially (see my first comment in this thread): Astro Bot & Wukong tied at 30% odds, FFVII sitting at 25%, Balatro hovering around 15%, and Metaphor & SotE having virtually no chance of winning.
Did check the fan vote and Astrobot and all Indie games are gone. Maybe 10% of the vote is enough for gamers...

yeah that's complete trash. Players' Choice at TGA is prolly going to a gacha game anyways, knowing how they will bribe players (with like $2 of in-game currency) into voting.
This is my GOTY 2024, what an adventure and return to form for the Series.

I assume they also bribe Geoff Keighley with $2 of in-game currency to make him allow Genshin Impact back in for five years counting.
