I chose option 3.
In this hypothetical situation, if both games are a draw in all other aspects and it turns out that technical superiority is the only differentiator then sure. Technical superiority to brake a tie is a perfectly acceptable way to pick a winner ALL ELSE BEING EXACTLY EQUAL.
However, I feel that you're question was framed in this convoluted hypothetical manner for GOW to win GOTY that it becomes stupid. There is next to zero chance that two frontrunners for an award cannot be otherwise separated. Also, the performance of Elden Ring is nowhere near bad enough to make it such an important differentiator. GOW will simply have to be a better game to win.
