Why does the "Game of the Year" nomination last until December?

What if a great game comes out in December? That's it... It doesn't qualify for any nomination, either this year or next. What kind of December discrimination is this? The Game of the Year selection process should start at the end of December, say, on the 25th, and the results should be announced on the 30th.

Guess the devs need to release pre-December to be included.

It's strange... December is the best month for releasing games, especially closer to the New Year, so that people buy them as gifts.

I think games from last December are allowed to be voted here as they tried to get me to vote for KOF15.

That said it hardly matters as this entire contest is just to determine what our good friends the Chinese prefer this year. I am out of the loop so I cannot wait to see what they consider the Wukong of this year.

I found that only counts as console games. They tend to release their "best" games during the december season so they can make the most money on them. That way, there is not enough time for them to go on sale. Think about it.

A year doesn't have to begin and end on January 1st. For example, are 2026 cars for sale yet? But wah? It's not 2026.

Anything released after the awards, or otherwise too late to participate could naturally be included in the next year's awards.
