Where are you actually meant to see the guest GOTY lists this year?

They're not on the home page, there's a link to about three in the forums, but so many of them just don't exist in any easily findable way on the website.

Is this by design?

I assume they are supposed to be on the front page and will be at some point this week.

But until then you can find them all at the Words/Latest link from the top menu.

The front page is being weird right now. For the time being, you can see them all on the articles page, which is here: https://www.giantbomb.com/words/
