Can't tell me they are reading every single product like a copy editor.The solution is to expand the judges pool with a separate group for software judging. It just takes a lot more time to review these sorts of products.The ENnies are not only about external validation of one's work - they are well on their way to becoming what amounts to a significant commercial advantage. It's an Editor's Choice / People's Choice and Oscar for gaming all rolled into one.  There really isn't anything else like it, so to just shrug it off is not required Vascant.We have a commercial RPG accessory in development and I shudder to think what a ten minute view would do for it.</blockquote>
