Hey there, Geoff. Are there restrictions on whether games can be up for Game of the Year in multiple genres? For example, Fire Emblem was left out of the RPG of the Year nominations, but was nominated for Strategy game, even though it shares a lot more DNA with the games in the RPG category than those in the Strategy category. Would it have been possible to be nominated for both? Or was there a conscious decision that it would be classified as a Strategy game rather than an RPG?

Thank you for the response! I agree that getting caught up w/ genres can generate some interesting discussion, but they are becoming less & less important. The clarification that games are only eligible for one Genre is welcome information. I'm looking forward to the show!
