minus-squarequams69@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up143·8 months agoRDR2 was nominated for “labor of love”, a five year old sp game with an abandoned online component and no significant updates or dlc since release
minus-squareDarkThoughts@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up44·8 months agoI’d vote for Project Zomboid but that wasn’t even nominated. Steam Awards are just a joke / popularity contest.
minus-squareArtyom@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up32·8 months agoMeanwhile Deep Rock Galactic gets multiple new events per year and has a super community focused dev team.
minus-squaredvlsg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down4·8 months agoDRG already won on a previous year, I think. Steam rules are that a game can’t be renominated for a category they already won. Kind of an odd rule. I suppose if it didn’t exist, Terraria would just win that category every year.
minus-squaredvlsg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoAh, I was wrong. DRG has never won. It’s been nominated a number of times, though.
minus-squareverysoft@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-28 months agoBut didn’t Terraria have it’s last ever update 3 years ago? All the awards are for games released in the last year, except labor of love, which is any game from anytime. (Unless I forgot about another award)
