More succinctly still: GOTY should not be an "all spoilers allowed" zone, like Jeff wants it to be. It should be a "spoilers ok where they really matter" zone, like Brad wants it to be.
Well, it isn't that. It doesn't matter what it "should be" as these are just recordings of discussions they would have had anyway, and we have the benefit of hearing them go apeshit. You restricting them like that would also, in turn, restrict their ability to talk about these games openly or they would just make shitty 20 minute podcasts going down the list of their awards. They already have those with the videos (which are not shitty, let me be clear), so wait and watch those instead.
I just don't think you know exactly what the guys are doing here: this is editor talk that we get to hear, not a podcast designed for the listener.
But I do. I heard the same disclaimers you did, and I went in with my eyes open. This is editor talk of a type that at least one of the editors disagrees with (and I think that dissenter is correct). One of the wonderful things about conversation is to entertain alternatives from the extant state of affairs.
This disagreement goes back at least two years, to the Best DLC award for 2010 (IIRC) when Brad reluctantly had to talk about the content of the Bioshock 2 DLC. Heck, it goes back even further, when Brad insisted on turning off the recording to talk about that Wii Resident Evil game (IIRC). I think Brad's treatment and sensitivity to spoilers is better than Jeff and Ryan's.
