Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as we look back at the best community generated offerings from the last week.
It would be entirely regressive to introduce this week's Community Spotlight without first recognizing the events from the prior week. As most of you already know, the United States Capitol was stormed by a violent insurrection. Let it be known, as my previous comment might suggest, Giant Bomb views the events of January 6th, 2021 as a violent and illegal attempt to undermine the democratic process of the United States. As Brad has stated on Twitter, attempts to excuse the event with "both sides..." rhetoric will not be tolerated nor will outright support of the insurrection attempt be tolerated. If you discover any comments that are in violation of this, flag or report them to the Moderation Team.
It does, however, comfort me to know that I have an inordinate amount of community and user-generated content that properly showcases the creativity that is forever imbedded in Giant Bomb. To everyone who has written a review, list, thread, or blog on the site that has maintained the community expectations on this site, I tip my hat to you. With that aside, let's review the site-related housekeeping!
- Giant Bomb's 2020 GOTY coverage will start on January 18th, 2021
- Giant Bomb's Community GOTY voting has begun! Help crown a community 2020 GOTY by filling out the form and you have until January 25th to submit a vote!
- If you experience any issues or bugs with the community voting, here's the thread for reporting issues. Be aware, the most common issues are related to games not existing in the database and/or confusion about a game's "official" release date. If your issue is the former rather than the later, please consider adding the game to the database!
- The staff and moderation team are aware of the recent influx of spambots, and are working on a solution. We are working to keep things under control, but given the time of the year, you will notice waves from time to time.
GOTY 2020
Author's Note: After a long delay, I finally got around to reviewing and compiling some, but obviously not all of the user-created lists on the site. If I missed your list or blog, PLEASE drop a link to it using the comments section and I will happily showcase it next time!
