Nominations for Steam Awards 2022
Posted by NMS on FB:
50% off on Steam in the Autumn Sale.
And maybe pop a cross in our box for the Steam Awards 2022 while youāre there 
No Manās Sky get nominated for Labor of Love every year (which is an achievement in itself!) but it never winsā¦ 
Iāll be voting for Space Engineers this time round ā even though thatās even more hopeless because SE sold only half as many copies as NMS.
Which makes me thinkā¦ Steam donāt reveal how they rank the nominees, do they? Do you think they interpret the voting as it fits their goals (sales)? Are they just happy to remind gamers of NMSās ongoing existence by listing it as nominee every year, and then they award some hip other game instead which will only get this one shot?
I would think, some lowly indie game that manages to attract āx thousand votesā is better as some big AAA game that gets āonly x thousand votes even after an expensive marketing campaignā. Do Steam take such differences into account, or we simply donāt know? (And NMS doesnāt even fit these categories, itās kinda a big small indie game.) Iām rambling 
I have no idea how Steam operates but, there canāt be too many games with millions of players and full support still going after 6 years.
Seriously, thereās so many video game awards nowadays, who can still keep track with them all?
