Regarding the Condorcet counting process, there is a potential unfairness if finalists cannot vote for their own games. This process counts how many times each game is favored over one of the other games. It generally makes sense that the games a person does vote for will all count as being favored above the games that same person does not vote for. The potential unfairness would be if I cannot vote for my own game and this causes my votes for other games to all count as votes of preference for these games above my own. If finalists are allowed to vote, this unfairness goes away either by allowing us to vote for our own games or, if we can't vote for our own games, by not counting our votes for other games as preferences for these games above our own.
