Definitely not too late. This isn’t the first time this has happened where a game released close to the window but still ended up nominated and won. For example, dragon age inquisition released Nov. 18th and won game of the year. God of war ragnarok released Nov 9th and was nominated. For a game as massive as GTA 6, they are almost certainly willing to bend the rules if they must to fit it into this year’s nominations. The cutoff last year was November 21st, so they just sneak into this year’s window based on history.
