There's a deadline my dude. Like it or hate it, you can't have a December show without having a cut-off. Keep in mind everything involved with the show, since it's not just an IGN list, it's a full production. Stalker 2 can be nominated for next year (but I agree that Wukong shouldn't be in the list at all. It wasn't that great, Stellar Blade was better but had more goon material)
