Balatro's nomination became a controversy alongside Elden Ring's DLC

Balatro 的提名與《Elden Ring》的 DLC 一起引發爭議

This year's nominations for the equivalent of the Oscars of the gaming world have been unique. The main reason is the allowance of DLC and expansion packs.

今年相當於遊戲界奧斯卡獎的提名是獨一無二的。主要原因是DLC和擴充包的補貼。

Although it was predictable that Elden Ring DLC’s nomination would become a controversy in the gaming world, many people are also not getting the reason for Balatro among the 6 titles of GOTY. They believe other games like Stellar Blade and Silent Hill 2 remake stood a better chance under this category than these two games.

雖然《Elden Ring》DLC的提名會在遊戲界引起爭議是可以預見的，但許多人也不明白Balatro為何能躋身GOTY的6款遊戲之列。他們認為其他遊戲，如《Stellar Blade》和《寂靜嶺 2 重製版》，在這一類別中比這兩款遊戲更有機會。
