SuperFriendsUnite: Do you ever think Xbox will ever have a GOTY Exclusive?  Is that what the new AAAA studio will focus on?

Cruise Control - Topic of the Show

When or how should games be considered for Game of the Year? Sea of Thieves launched to mediocrity, but its content updates have given some cause for revisiting it. Should “living” games be allowed re-review, does the launch version exclusively have rights to GOTY?

Examples: Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six Siege, Fortnite, etc.

Deals with Gold [definitely a skippable segment if running long]
