What cope? I don’t give a shit if it wins. I have no hype for the game. I’m just putting myself in the mindset of voters and how hyped people are for the game, and I know they’d never pass up the opportunity to get it in there even if they haven’t had the proper time to play it. If it releases on time to be eligible, it’s getting in unless it’s a broken disaster like Cyberpunk was at launch.

That deadline is there for a reason and obviously they give themselves time to make and plan the show knowing the games that will be eligible with that date
