Telltale's The Walking Dead would like a word with you...
TellTale isn't a indie company they are a AA company.
Ontopic: Game of the Year rewards in the end are dumb because GOTY is a opinion only. What one person finds to be GOTY another may think its a average game at best.
Example: Breath of the Wild won GOTY, I personally feel its average at best and the worse Zelda game made.

Since you're referring to IGN, an indy game already won their GOTY. Journey in 2012.
Telltale is NOT a AAA company, not even close.
Their own description:

AA companies exist and are different from small indie operations or full AAA studios. I mean, they're technically "indie" in that they're usually not owned by a publisher, but places like Telltale, WayForward, or Obsidian have hundreds of employees and absolutely wouldn't fall under anything that anyone would generally associate with "indie".
is it time a woman gets elected president????
Depends on if the Indie Game regardless of score actually sells to a Majority of Gamers. People often forget that many Indie games that are highly praised are also usually for niche Audiences.
For example, I absolutely love Hollow Knight. It is an amazing indie game. Yet 9/10 people I bring it up with don't even know what I'm talking about. Compare that to something like Farcry or Zelda.
You're out of your mind if you think a David Cage game is winning GOTY awards, and I actually like David Cage games.
The games you forgot where Spider-Man, God of War, MHW and whatever Nintendo is hiding up their sleeves for their major release this year. None of the games you listed besides RDR2 will even sniff major GOTY awards.
While both have strong revenue (especially FIFA), I don't believe either comes close to the sales of CoD annually. CoD routinely tops platform digital sales for the year in the barely 2 months it's out.
Except that sales for an indie game also don't determine its GotY status so...I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
Good thing I said AA and not AAA....
There is a massive difference in a indie developer that is a team of 5 (example) and a small independent company. THQ Nodic is a AA company, They are not owned by a big AAA publisher nore are a big AAA developer, but they are not a small indie group ether and the same apply's to TellTales.
I know the term AA company has been lost over the years but it is a thing.
By ur logic CDPR is a indie company....
