What are THE most important GOTYs game companies want to win?

Or more correctly, all of them perhaps? Games that win or are nominated for GOTY's come out with GOTY editions do they not? And these editions boost sales a tad. So if a publisher can claim their game has a GOTY then it's a marketing angle that other games don't have. So it doesn't matter if it's a little known GOTY, or a GOTY everyone knows about. A GOTY is a GOTY.

Not every game comes out with a GoTY edition. The only ones that seem to do it consistently are the ones with DLC. I imagine if they require one the publisher can just bribe a couple of no name sites and there you go. I don't think they care if no one actually gave them a GoTY award though. It is all just marketting nonsense anyways.
