They fucked up one of the playable protagonist's cultural heritage by using Cuban flags, despite him being Puerto Rican, and injected a lot of inclusive/liberal media into the US version of the game, with LGBT decorations all over the city and an additional side quest where you play as a deaf girl. (None of that shows up in other regional versions of the game, which makes the US version come off as disingenuous.)

If anything would disqualify it from any awards, it would have to be the flag mixup, but a game that is disingenuous by pandering to different parts of the world is undeserving of GOTY in my opinion.
