A DLC Shouldn’t Be Nominated for Game of the Year!!!!

The Game Awards’ decision to allow DLCs and expansions to compete for Game of the Year has sparked controversy—and for good reason. In this video, we dive into why this rule change undermines the integrity of the award and dilutes what it means to celebrate a complete, standalone game.

From the fundamental differences between DLCs and full games to how this impacts competition and innovation in the industry, we break down the arguments against this change. Games like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty may be impressive, but can they really compete with fully realized, original titles that stand on their own?

Join the conversation as we explore why the Game of the Year award should remain a celebration of complete gaming experiences—and not a place for add-ons or expansions, no matter how well-made.
