I don't 100% keep up with every podcast on the site. Hell, I tend not to listen to the podcast anymore save for the GOTY discussions. So getting an in-depth recap of the year like this is very useful to me. There are so many games talked about in these recaps both for this year and last year where I had no idea about them and want to check them out.
If people listen to every episode of GBcast and Beastcast I can understand they might see it as a waste. But at the same time... Maybe that just means this specific part of GOTY isn't for those people? Just a thought.
