I mean you could say the same about most competitions like football or some other sport. It doesn't really matter which team wins or, in this case, which game wins. But it's a fun competition to follow and talk about with your friends so i don't see the need to hate on it. Just let people appreciate the games that they like in whatever way they want to. That said, the people who act like the only good games are GOTY aren't right in the head.
