The Walking Dead already has a lot of variations

[Carnby]

Last I checked there are people here who like to collect variations. So far I've noticed 4 variations for a game that has been out for less than a year.

1). Collector's Edition
2). Best Buy Limited Edition
3). "Winner of Game of the Year" edition
4). Vanilla

Are there any industry standards that regulate what can be called a "Game of the year"?

Nope.

It's the same exact game content with the same exact cover, expect the cover says "Winner of over 80 game of the year awards".
