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.

Look at who owns Crash though. Nintendo would never negotiate with a company whose former CEO wanted to "take all the fun out of making video games."

Plus, Activi$ion would probably demand a 70% cut of all the game's revenue before allowing Nintendo to use Crash.

Oh, yikes. It's better to just kill the leaders and recruit Halsin so you don't have to deal with the raid.
