@mrwakka: It's not about one game. In terms of validation it's really just depressing how my favorite games get moved into this one little sub category and it's such an exception when they're actually given any real recognition. Overwatch; like fine they didn't think it was as good but the press both writ large and Giant Bomb almost always find a way to give a flavor of the month game it and meanwhile games I'll play for years will at best only find a handful of outlets recognizing them.
If they like Hitman and Doom more than Overwatch, like that's fine it's their list but it's not a one off. But when you look at these thing in retrospect it becomes clear that multiplayer games aren't really taken seriously.
What would it take for a multiplayer focused game to win GOTY? Like every year it's some game that lasts like 2 weeks and the game I keep playing for months gets ignored. Whether it's Overwatch, or Streetfighter 4, or Dota 2, or Hearthstone or Starcraft 2 or, or or it's always a game that is over in a few weeks and the games I play for months get passed by.
