No Man’s Sky get nominated for Labor of Love every year (which is an achievement in itself!) but it never wins… 🥺

I’ll be voting for Space Engineers this time round — even though that’s even more hopeless because SE sold only half as many copies as NMS.

Which makes me think… Steam don’t 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 NMS’s 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 “x thousand votes” is better as some big AAA game that gets “only x thousand votes even after an expensive marketing campaign”. Do Steam take such differences into account, or we simply don’t know? (And NMS doesn’t even fit these categories, it’s kinda a big small indie game.) I’m rambling 😉

I have no idea how Steam operates but, there can’t be too many games with millions of players and full support still going after 6 years.

Seriously, there’s so many video game awards nowadays, who can still keep track with them all?
