My EXACT thoughts.
To answer the Title, no, in my view, it didn’t.
The fact that a ROOTKIT was installed into the game in order to combat people modding through survival modes and other things for the game’s PC base should have been a big enough reason, for anyone with a basic understanding of wanting to know what this does, to disqualify it (my opinion). But I speak from PC. Whereas, the console version wasn’t plagued with this issue. This was my biggest gripe.
Game was put out there ahead of schedule to start the new CapCup Tour, primarily focused on the competitive scene first, not everyone. Big mistake.
Who knows, but I significantly hope this kind of behavior isn’t normalized.

I don’t think what Capcom did was acceptable - at all. So please don’t interpret this as defending them. But if they are expected to deliver real $$ content through the game, and they are going to finance the game by selling cosetics, I would expect one of two things to happen in the future: Either we see more draconian online only policies for these games (which I think we are going to see anyway), or they just plain stop making games on PC. I predict the latter. SFV is losing money for Capcom, so without Sony support they have no reason to make the game on PC, even though that’s where I play it.
I will boldly predict that whatever they announce regarding Marvel tomorrow doesn’t get a PC port. We’ll see if I’m right.
On topic, I completely agree that SFV is a lackluster choice for fighing game of the year. But I have some trouble with the Seasonal model. KI S3 is, in my opinion, far and away the best game on or off the list for fighting game of the year. But how do you judge it as a 2016 release when 2/3 of the content came from previous years? Do you just look at the S3 new content and compare it to SFV and Pokken? Or do you say “this was a significant game update, so we now look at the total package.” I’m curious what people think about this.

I think Pokken would have been a worthy winner.
I agree with the SFV related comments. One thing though, I don’t think KI is/was deserving either.
And, imho, KOF is not epic enough, but they have the advantage of learning from their own mistakes and mistakes of others.
What does this mean?

I think KOF14 launched solidly and addressed the most important things in a very short time after launch: netcode issue, and now they will do a graphics upgrade. A solid game in my opinion. I would have picked either Pokken or KoF14, with Pokken being my first choice.

No matter how good Doom is, the fact is that it would never win an award in mainstream, because of all the Hell/pentagram things.
I don’t watch any of these award shows, because they are all rigged in some way.
The Oscar’s are rigged by type off show. Any show about WWII, Civil Rights, LGBT, or some other tragedy will automatically win everything it is in.
The music awards are won by whoever is the most radio friendly pop music artist of the past year.
I put more trust in the ratings of my friends for thing s, instead of a company that most likely has a agenda for rating the way they do.
Have they announced they are doing a graphics upgrade?
But…it DID win. What are you talking about?
Yeah, they’ve showed some screenshots on twitter. Seems like they’re using better materials for some of the models, and they’ve greatly reduced the amount of ambient lighting in favor of more directional lighting–the result is that it looks a lot less flat.

The result of the awards is precisely what I have come to expect from 2016.
DOOM won in 2 departments: Best Action Game and Best Soundtrack.
I am sorry. I must have missing read what he said about Doom.
