Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community creations and site-related news!
The Christmas holidays are here! GOTY content continues this week with the triumphant return of Guest Lists, Staff Lists, and the yearly Community GOTY Voting!
That's right! If you somehow missed it on the front page of the site, Community GOTY Voting for 2023 has STARTED! Remember, we really don't care if you vote for games that did not release in 2023; just vote for the games that you enjoyed playing in 2023 the most! Don't worry about Early Access dates. Don't worry about public betas. Don't worry about Game Pass or if a remaster of a game counts. JUST GET IN HERE AND VOTE! Also, if you don't feel like you can fill up all ten slots in your ballot, fill as few slots as you like!
Also, the website startmenu has been doing some fun interviews with the Giant Bomb staff about their thoughts about this year in gaming and what major narratives during GOTY debates they think reigned supreme and the ones they think fell to the wayside. This week, they talked to Jan, Grubb, and Shawn McDowell.
