A rule clarification was added there has never been a rule stopping DLC from being nominated. That's it that's all there is to it. If you keep going I'm going to ask for a moderator to come in because I have literally proven you wrong and you just keep going anyways you are clearly a troll.
What? :D :D :D :D
You are not serious... are you?

So you make the rules now?

That rule was added on middle November because somebody leaked that a DLC could be nominated.
I don't make the rules but I'm pretty sure moderation would side with me because I have clearly proven my side of the argument. I have seen before the moderation tell people like you that you can either prove your side or let it drop and since you don't have proof you're going to have to let it drop

This is from your November 13th link. It literally says games released in previous years are eligible in all award categories so long as the jury feels their inclusion is merited due to new content improvements or service updates. Do you know what all award categories means? This is called a self own. Your argument is dead.

Can't you read the titles? They are talking about Live Service Games lol
Plus they talk about the GAME not the DLC.
Using your logic Elden Ring should be nominated as GOTY this year not it DLC alone because that is what the pic is saying

Mas you really try hard.

They literally put cyberpunk in the ongoing game category last year it does not only mean live service titles.
That was a wrong choice like I explained... generated backslash too.
They give Phantom Liberty that award because they could not put it in GOTY category.
With the new rules Phantom Liberty should not even be nominated in a wrong category.

We discussed that last year a lot... and it just more proof that the rule didn't exists before 2024.

That is all because they don't want to create a "Best DLC" award.

They could put it in any category I already linked you it said they are eligible for all categories do you understand what all categories means?

You really don't read what you quote... crazy.

There is no point to reply to you anymore because you don't discuss anything... you just ignore everything.
I will continue pointing what is wrong but I won't reply to you anymore.

To these that want to proper discuss the topic... I will left here some links that point why Phantom Liberty nomination and winning the Best ongoing category was wrong.
Phantom Liberty was not a live service ongoing game... it was a DLC for a single player game that has nothing of ongoing or live service at all.
It even ceased development months after won the award (the ongoing never existed at all) lol

No one really cares what the technical definition of ongoing game is. The game awards defines it as simply a game that had content this year. Cry more about it.

TOTK slander is insane. It is leagues and bounds better and more expansive than Erdtree as a standalone. no one who has played and enjoyed both would ever come to this conclusion.

This take is 100% in bad faith. People cannot act normal when a game is a iterative sequel anymore.... I assume those guys started gaming in PS4 gen. Sequels used to be the old game + more but nowadays people have some weird expectation everything must be a revolution.

Not just that TotK is a complete shift in game engine... everything they had on original had to be ported to the new engine to be used... so the use of "reused" is very weird here.
SotW was build not just over the engine but the whole Elden Ring game... so it uses everything Eden Ring had.

I played both extensively and agree with the meme. TotK is overrated busywork simulator for undiscerning children.
