Oh wait.
And you're assuming I don't find all of those games to be in the same category? Gears of War games are DLC, as well as Call of Duty, and even new Mario Karts (Since you can't have DLC of a SNES game). Zelda? No.
Legend of Zelda games provide actual new content, not just a few changed scenes and a couple of new gimmicks. The only things that remain the same are what need to remain the same: The main characters. Other than that if you play one Zelda game it is absolutely nothing like the next one you play except for, again, the main character. (Though arguably not actually the ''same'' character necessarily)
If you play Zeldas today and think they're anything like the Zelda games of the past then you're a damn retard, whereas if you compare a Gears game to another Gears game you would see that it's virtually the same thing. Portal 2 offered almost nothing different than Portal 1, so how is it wrong to say it's pretty much just DLC? They changed not even a handful of things and called it a brand new game. Yeah, you paid full price for that pomegranate, I know.
Portal 1 deserved to win pomegranate, yeah, but 2? No. It was pretty much just Portal 1 all over again. Well, I guess maybe bouncy goop and slippery goop make it a whole new game? Nah.
Either way it doesn't even matter seeing as how the gaming industry/community are like Nexon and their playerbase: The companies hand pomegranate to the consumers and the consumers eat it up. Everyone's had to lower their standards so awards can still even be given.
