If anyone was still taking them seriously, they sure as hell aren’t now.

    I think my favorite was the winner of the 2023 Labor of Love award: Red Dead Redemption 2, which hasn’t had a major content update since 2022.

      I finally played through the RDR2 campaign a few months ago. The game is kinda a masterpiece and I wanted to vote for it when I saw it as an option. Then I remembered it came out 5 years ago and as far as I’ve heard from friends there’s nothing special about the online play.

      Bit confused as to how it was even a candidate for the award lol

        It became a candidate because nominations (and the votes) are all community based. Steam has the final say, but yeah, it’s the users who are driving this.
