I'm genuinely surprised that it took this long for "it didn't win GotY because of the ending!" idiocy to pop up here.

Also, "Retakers" would have felt good about themselves regardless of the results. If ME3 had won Game of the Year, they would have just insisted that the VGAs are bogus and that BioWare bribed Spike, or some idiocy like that. Reality is whatever is most convenient to their cause.
