It is a tough one as Saints Row was definitely more of the sites pick, it was the more Giant Bomb option. However Skyrims generally seen as the much better game and was the much more respectable industry choice.

The thing is, from 2008-2014 Giant Bomb used to align with common industry GOTY winners. Then with Mario Maker in 2015 they shifted to much less common winners that the site got a lot out of and had more of a personal meaning to them. This lasted until either 2019 or 2020 (Outer Wilds is kind of both forms) when they went back to the more standard GOTY-winners except for Chicory which was just Jeff playing the game to block Psychonauts 2. Saints Row was the predecessor of the second type of GOTY-winner, though of course it did not win.
