Agreed. I think the examples you named would lead to there being an insane amount of categories, not to mention the ludicrous amount of games that would fall under a category like "roguelike of the year" and some categories wouldn't be present some years based on design trends. Categories absolutely need reform though. The way TGA currently does it is obnoxiously flawed.
