    RDR2 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

      I’d vote for Project Zomboid but that wasn’t even nominated. Steam Awards are just a joke / popularity contest.

      Meanwhile Deep Rock Galactic gets multiple new events per year and has a super community focused dev team.

        DRG 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.

            Ah, I was wrong. DRG has never won. It’s been nominated a number of times, though.

          But 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)

            And Terraria’s upcoming 1.4.5 will be the last definitive final update this time. Until they announce 1.5.
