Yes, DLCs are included in categories. Kind of ridiculous TBH.

The state of AAA gaming is that releases slowed way down, resulting in way less output, which means you're going to have fewer winners, by the numbers. Not every year can be like last year.

I was specifically referring to quality. There were several underperformers this year.

Quality or sales, I meant it the same way.
