Sorry I forgot what GSC's R2 opponent was in 2010.

It's not just that; it's also that I really wouldn't use the word barely to describe a 3.5% difference in these contests.

back in 2015, considering this site's demographic, it might have been a "what even is that?" game for most of the voter base.

You're grossly underestimating the automatic attention the Blizzard name still musters to this day, and heck the Warcraft brand in particular while we're at it. Next, are you going to try claiming a huge chunk of GameFAQs didn't know the first thing about Overwatch 1.5 years after its release?

i dont believe Nier is only suikoden 2 level. that'd still leave it as basically fodder in the grand scheme of these contests.

Well, Shadow of the Colossus was the popular pre-contest comparison for Nier's unique fanbase, nature as a game, and general trajectory. With that in mind, it's easy to forget that SotC didn't look so hot itself when it was nearly doubled by RE4 and KH2 in its first contest - also a bit over 3 years after its release.

So 1000 theoretical votes from a Divinity rally means NieR doesn't look as awful as we thought it did.

I find that a suspiciously high number considering it's at a fraction of Bloodborne's 800-upvote rally (on a similarly active subreddit), which only gave it about 2,000 votes across its whole match. Maybe Divinity has a better follow-through rate, but not by enough to matter. It's worth noting that there's also been a mildly successful FF14 rally with barely a third of the Divinity rally's upvotes, but on a subreddit with 5x the active users - and said rally seems to favor Nier over Divinity.
