The term GOTY is pretty bastardized, considering that each media outlet gets to pic its own GOTY. It pretty much means nothing if 8 different games are parading around as the GOTY 2012.
The industry needs to pick ONE media outlet as the final say, although I don't know how we would go about picking it. I'm scared because Spike TV is kind of taking that role, and we just can't let that happen.
