And before you all get up in arms about the “change” that allows DLC to be nominated, it’s literally been that way for years.
In fact, you may recall that eight years ago, in 2016,The Witcher 3’sBlood and WineDLC garnered both a nomination and a win in Best RPG.
Seriously, everybody needs to put their pitchforks away.
