The timing of the Game Awards unintentionally sabotages some nominees, as games released too close to the cut-off date have less chance of nomination.
Voters did not have enough time to play longer titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard compared to games that launched earlier, affecting their nomination chances.
With overlapping deadlines for game release and voting, the Game Awards often reflect timing more than the quality of games being recognized.
The early ballot submission dates create a situation where only games that are well-timed can actually compete for the prestigious nominations.
