Overwatch won game of the year.
Anyone complaining that Uncharted 4 didn't win is the reason we keep getting sequels and nothing new. Don't get me wrong, great game but this is about something different. Of course Blizzard is a huge company so of course they're going to get all the marketing, awards and exposure but lets look at what Blizzard has done with Overwatch.
For the past 10 years we have gotten nothing but rehashed sequels of the same Call of Duty/Battlefield knock offs that overcharge you with DLC content and release incomplete games in order to make more money down the road. Blizzard said "f*ck that, we're changing the game."
The game has only been out for little over 6 months now (?) and we've had 3 seasons of competitive, 2 seasonal events, 2 new heroes, 2 new maps and over 300+ cosmetic items for FREE. Blizzard took everyones complaints about the gaming industry screwing us over and decided to give back. If game developers are smart, they will follow suit and stop being so greedy/lazy. Not only all of that, in the little time it has been out it has become a gaming culture phenomenon. I applaud Blizzard for everything they've done and I'm going to continue supporting them in the future. Overwatch deserved this 100%.
