That's super lame, considering the award is titled "Game of the Year" and a DLC clearly isn't a game.

Its a bit weird but I can understand their starting argument that they are reviewing works on their creative and technical merits (the actual format is incidental) but then they shoot it all down by saying price/value is taken into consideration.
So could mods qualify? It could be cool for tamriel rebuilt or some other huge community project to win, if they ever release.
Why wouldn't it be taken into consideration?
Bad monetization and excessively high pricing change the experience for gamers. There's not a lot of chance they're willing to say "microtransactions make a game ineligible" like they should, but cash grubbing microtransactions change what a game is, and they can't just not acknowledge that at all.
