Why didnt RDR2 win GOTY 2018?

[Software22]

This game is a MASTERPIECE!
Why didn't RDR2 become the most awarded game of all time?
97 Metacritic
Probably already reached 60 million sales
Until today, this game is compared to current games, and NO game surpasses the RDR2 quality.. 🤔

OP is not talking about steam awards. In 2018 rdr2 lost goty to god of war (which also released on PC years later). Pretty obvious that the "jury" weren't objective at the time.

To this day rdr2 still one of the most beautiful games ever made ! Presentation and art style, characters, soundtrack and every tiny detail in the open world, still aheads of any garbage game made in 2022/23.
The only game that came close to rdr2 in terms of beauty is ghost of tsushima, the rest is pure garbage, incluind Soy of War.

How about just not give a F what any little website says and if you like it, play it.
End of story.

There are tons of great games out there many of you all probably never heard of.
