FFXIV has been in the top 10 every year except 2018, which was a bit of a weird year as the GOTY thread was still finding its legs

And prolly the only year where the vote was small enough that something like Monhun could win. MHW deserved it tho, I've been playing that game for 5 years and I swear it's one of the best games of all time.
