      I think the problem is that they don’t get awards even tho they are very good game and really amazing devs who love their games and playerbase. Last year read dead redemption won labour of love in the same category as drg was in 🤮

        The Steam awards are a total joke. RDR, a game with zero content updates won labor of love. Starfield, a paint-by-number Bethesda RPG is most innovative. But it doesn’t matter because the awards don’t matter.

          RDR is awesome, but yeah, the devs were probably crunched and were dying to finish it so they could rest lol.

            Not even that. The suits at 2K publishing (and maybe on Rockstar’s board of directors too tbh) just decided that it wasn’t worth investing any development time in since it prints money less easily and more slowly than GTA online

          I believe Starfield at least was brigading to prove the point that the awards are silly at best at this point.

          Did the job pretty well.
