Thats significant! GDC too. Nobody talks about Death Stranding as a GOTY winner without bringing up that site, because it didnt win any major awards.

There are several issues with this method. One is that not all fan polls are created equal. GameFAQss still get more votes than many others combined. This will apply for outlets as well - a massive global site is different from one with a staff of two. Another is methodology. Death Stranding won the IGN poll on 17% of the vote - not exactly the will of the people. Theres also the issue of reporting. If all outlets are eligible that means that there are likely to be many that are simply not reported, biasing the results. This is going to be especially true for small international sites and papers which is where a lot of the Death Stranding support comes from.

The best representation of industry consensus is probably The Game Awards because of how they are decided.
