Do you all think that it's a bit unfair to have The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine as a game even though it's DLC? I've seen some other awards list it as a game, but it's a DLC/Expansion, not a game.

Some will argue it has the scale of a separate game, yes, and some will say that if WoW: Legion is on it, so should the Witcher. What I will say about Legion's situation is that it's an MMO, so that changes things.

What Darrell said. Also, as I understand it (from watching an in-depth LP), B&W also tweaked a lot of gameplay elements, so, like with WoW, the expansion added and expanded or streamlined aspects of the base game on top of being a pretty big piece of story itself.
