I dislike when companies claim GOTY before the year is over. BB can't possibly have won any Goty's yet, therefore, its false advertising and probably illegal.

As I said, this is a mere re-branding of the same product in order to sell it with the DLC incorporated, especially for those who want the DLC on-disk. It doesn't have to had won any award or anything, it can be "Game of the year in the eyes of those who have played it" or something like that, but something so big isn't that cool so they shorten it to GOTY. I mean, nothing is preventing them from saying "93 metacritic edition", "let us drink blood together edition", "wow this is so cool edition" or anything like that, and it's not illegal in any case. They just went with the usual "Game of the year" thing, which happens every year with tons of games, doesn't matter if they win anything or not.

I noticed. I don't think you should accept it just because you know what it contains. A lie is a lie, and companies can't lie to the consumer blatantly to get sales. Thing like "its my goty" is not justification because they have to specify that. Like "Sony's game of the year edition" would be fine i'm sure, but thats not what they are saying. If they call it GOTY edition they must have a source for that. Otherwise whats stopping Activision from making a "Tony hawk 5 GOTY edition"? WB went with ultimate edition in the end for Injustice and i would rather they did that and kept their honesty.
I still think they are cashing in on something that may or may not happen by release time. Its a risky decision (unless they have some deal struck) especially because Fallout 4 is likely to sweep alot of Goty awards.
