What is people's fascination with Hearthstone being a GOTY candidate?

ITT, GAF tells game developers they are too stupid in their nomination choices.

 

[sueil]

These are some really pathetic and laughable nominations. Some of them make no sense at all. Mordor for best narrative is a farce. That game had an incredibly bare bones story and what little you got wasn't even any good. Machine games not nominated for best debut is an injustice.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Destiny over any of those honorable mentions......seriousy? Especially DA:I

This. Like fine no DA: I for GOTY, but Destiny? C'mon.

 

[Alchemist]

I really really really don't get these Destiny nominations.

This is how I feel about Mordor. Game was boring as shit.

GDC just released there State of the Industry report.

http://www.gdconf.com/news/gdc_state_of_the_industry_deve.html

As the latest generation of console hardware matures, a larger percentage of developers are moving to make games for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, compared to last year. 26 percent of developers surveyed said they're currently working on a PlayStation 4 game, up from 14 percent last year, while 22 percent said they're currently working on an Xbox One game, up from last year's 12 percent (note that games often are developed across multiple platforms).

But PC and mobile still reign in terms of platform popularity; 56 percent of survey respondents said their current game will be released on PC and 50 percent said their current project will release on smartphones or tablets, as compared to 53 and 52 percent (respectively) a year prior.
