Sure Astrobot isn’t GOTY material but they did make a speech about how this is a message that big AAA or AAAA titles aren’t always automatically deserving of GOTY, and some of the big studios are forgetting that, tinking that you just have to pour money and pull huge expectations from it. It’s praising indie mentality (although I don’t think Astro Bot is indie at all, but I don’t know shit about Astro Bot). I think there was at least one game that deserves the award more (personally I’m an FF7R guy, but you’re free to pick your own) but I think the message is fine. Domino’s, on the other hand, is just being a weirdo trying to ride on Internet heat for free advertising.
