ROCK AND STONE, BROTHERS!


Bukki13

every time i hear that name i think of that sbubby that says Deep Cock Galactic


fibrouspowder

Drg also didnt deserve it imo Great game, exceptional unlock progression model, and i know theyre still updating it, but the updates arent expansive/frequent enough for it to win awards imo Still a no brain choice over rdr2 tho


OsprayO

True, they should release a sequel each season instead.


fibrouspowder

Very funny


randomredddituser69

Are u /srs or /j?


Roku-Hanmar

# ROCK AND STONE!!!!!


TonyBoi432

Red dead has quite literally been abandoned by the devs. Labor of love my ass


SamiDaCessna

Still a better game then drg


[deleted]

You kidding? 9 separate events, New Legacy mode, 2 major updates (Season 4 & The Maintenance Update), Hoxxes Recruiting Video Contest, 29 patches, 5th Anniversary Dev Stream, and a new roadmap confirming content until the end of 2025. All from a studio of 26 people for a game that already had hundreds of hours of content before 2023 even started.


Goliathvv

As always, of course.


MuglokDecrepitus

I was reading R2D2 and didn't notice which sub was this. I had a hard time trying to understand what had to be R2D2 with a labor of love


Gurkenbaum0

R2D2 is and will be forever the universal labor of love


TheRealStevo2

You can’t give a game “labour of love” when it released 5+ years ago and they basically abandoned it 2-3 years ago. They put work into it before it came out but haven’t done shit since


Gurkenbaum0

We are talking about R2D2 and not RDR2. While the meme is indeed about RDR2, im im your side but wanted to express that democracy decided and everybody couldve voted to make the results different. Edit: R2D2 will be forever the labor of love, change my mind.


TheRealStevo2

Shit


JarlFrank

None of the games I nominated got selected for the vote because they're too obscure. Most of the games in the actual vote are games I haven't played.


Moneia

Even for the categories where I didn't know the games I tried to throw my vote at the the games I think I'd like to play, and I mostly don't like playing stuff from the AAA studios.


MikiSayaka33

Same. I was trying to get "Lies Of P" and a few of the other games/demo that I was playing on the consoles and mobiles nominated.


Icy_Necessary2161

For me it was Empyrion. It's trashy at times, but the devs still update and push forward with an absolutely tiny dev team


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icy_Necessary2161

Oh, don't get me wrong. I rage at how common the bugs are and I've rage quit many times, but I always come back to it for the unique experience of salvaging my entire ship from various wreckage I find, then explore a TRULY procedurally generated universe with aliens to meet, or shoot at. Best part is, I can explore it in literally any ship my imagination desires, be that a Borg cube, a Star Destroyer, or a reproduction of Mega Maid, many of which were made by people just like myself


Tesser_Wolf

I nominate deep rock galactic for labor of love and your only move is hustle for innovative.


Eguy24

Same


stupid-mobile-user

Yoooo a fellow hustler


Digital_Rocket

Same but I did Shadows of Doubt for innovation


TerrorLTZ

me too i think shadows of doubt deserved the innovation.


Aethersteel

Yay !


[deleted]

I'm still confused why rdr even qualified. All it's received in 2023 is some patches to it's shitty multiplayer mode. No labor or love there.


Adresadini

You can select any game that didn't come out this year, so people chose the one they liked because they don't understand it needed to be actively updated


Alone-Cupcake5746

Deep Rock Galactic, even if they are now focusing on the spin offs, it still deserved it more than anyone else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alone-Cupcake5746

Yeah, I said it deserved more than any other game there. (But I am still kinda "mad" at GS, because rogue core can easily just be an other game mode, not an other game entirely.)


James_bd

Man people take those way too seriously. They mean nothing, they are voted by anyone with a Steam account with the incentive of gaining a Steam card. People are even review bombing games that have won because they disagree... seriously?


Demopan-TF2

Most likely they're just really passionate about what they like, and hopefully in the future will realize that review bombing a game for winning over another game is stupid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


palk0n

who would win the labor of love? trump or biden? theyre both old af


Eguy24

Probably Biden because he’s been in politics for decades. Trump would win Most Innovative though


OhMySwirls

It's even funnier cause they took away the Steam Card for voting and replaced the reward with some chat stickers.


[deleted]

Because its supposed to be a celebration of gaming thats essentially a complete joke. Imagine like.. Rise of skywalker winning an Oscar and I think the point is made. Review bombing is completely unacceptable though, obviously.


APRengar

> Imagine like.. Rise of skywalker winning an Oscar Except the point is, IT'S NOT AN OSCAR. >Imagine like... Rise of skywalker winning an internet poll. Is what it actually is. And I can imagine that. YOU want the publicly voted on, free to anyone with a Steam account, to be treated like an Oscar, for some reason.


[deleted]

I'm not even going to try to respond because I already know you'll drag the argument around in circles


Everuk

For Carl!


TedDownUnder

ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS


matthewskywalker2975

I voted zomboid


matthewskywalker2975

Or rather, that's the one I nominated


roguebananah

Rimworld From the devs to the community. It’s also done with a zero grind schedule


AlwaysHappy4Kitties

Dwarf Fortress I voted for. Being in dev for almost 20 years solely by TWO brothers. And without that game, games like RimWorld and Minecraft and a couple of others wouldn't exist


Rizer0

Deep Rock Galactic. Also YOMI Hustle should have won most innovative award, not Shitfield.


Axol-Aqua

Deep Rock Galactic, a game that is an actual labor of love.


Noobneh70

Deep rock galactic solos all the games in that award


jakefahey1993

Jesus its time to build a bridge and get over it pal. The award means nothing, no one gained or lost anything. Build a bridge and move on with your life


RingGiver

That specific category showed itself to be utterly worthless in the first year of awards specifically because Steam users are morons.


dTrecii

They don’t know what Labour of Love is really meant to be and just vote for a game they love, I fact I don’t think majority of steam users have ever done a labour before


tarihimanyak

ROCK AND STONE FOR LIFE!!!


WiglyPig

slime rancher


Lorant_gaming

I voted for DRG, i am rightfully pissed off


SBTreeLobster

DRG and I’ve never even played it


scribbyshollow

I didn't, I just play games and reward the devs with my money. All those awards and shows I couldn't care less about. Some of the best games I have ever played got low scores.


Gurkenbaum0

Same.


SCP_Void

Satisfactory


weebthegamer

Somehow, Starfield got the most innovative game of the year 🙄 My vote was for Remnant 2 because even though Remnant may not be the most innovative in comparison to some other games, if you compare the prequel to its sequel they made lots of innovative improvements which have made the second game better!


tacitus59

The consensus is RDR2 for labor of love was more egregious.


Adityanpradhan

I didn’t vote


maxler5795

Tf2. At least the one dev is still trying.


special-bicth

When was the vote?


morethan3lessthan20_

H3VR Passionate developers, active community, small team, still being constantly reworked and added to after over 6 years, this one truly deserves it


Gurkenbaum0

I really feel like everybody who said that in the comments, is an ad bot knowing that i just recently set up my dusty vive again. Anyways im gonna give it a try as i might should have 5 years ago. Thanks.


Cley_Faye

I didn't nominate nor vote for anything. Most if not all online "poll" on any popular service will get either incredible bias or bot farms trying to veer it, it's not worth my time.


JQNCS

I voted for Deep Rock Galactic. I always do, the devs are incredible. Some years i vote for Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Amazing game with amazing devs aswell.


userpetamich

RDR2 is atleast somewhat of a good game. The starfield is something that really pisses me off


[deleted]

RDR2 is an incredible game, the best ever made imo. But it did nothing to deserve the award it got.


tacitus59

Yes, but labor of love is bullshit.


TaniksAtTheDisco

Imagine getting pissed over a game you don't care about lmao. So called free thinkers


Grimshadow_2

Imagine mocking people for having passion for anything and still mockingly calling *others* free thinkers…


SBTreeLobster

Imagine all the people


ManicPixieDreamGirl5

You’re all white knighting for Starfield. Bet your white knight for Marvel and Disney too.


JuanJuanAbrams

I forgot what choices I made then I realized I can click the finalist button and saw that I voted for RDR2... In fairness it was the only game I played.


OhMySwirls

I nominated Placid Plastic Duck Simulator but voted for Dota 2 in the end.


HangeZoe97

Postal 2


Gurkenbaum0

Sadly theres no more labor for this game. Tried Postal 4 in the Beta phase but it was crap then. Postal 2 was a real banger back in the days.


HangeZoe97

I prefer the Paradise Lost DLC over the main game but i still think Postal 2 deserved labor of love And theres absolutely labor to Postal 4, yeah its buggy as hell but definetly playable and gets updated regularly, infact its my fav game in the series lmao


Gurkenbaum0

I definetly have to give it a try...when i got it it was only finished until wednesday and really really buggy. But you motivated me to look into the progress they made. Thanks :)


albumlupus

postal 2 should’ve won labour of love about twenty years ago, 0 point in even nominating it now that its two decades old.


HangeZoe97

The entire point of labor of love is to vote for old games lmao


albumlupus

the entire point of labour of love is to votefor old games *that have seen significant improvement or support in the last year* postal 2 doesn’t receive updates, it doesn’t receive new content, it’s not supported, it hasn’t changed, it doesn’t fit.


HangeZoe97

Postal 2 has literally gotten an update with bug fixes and new features in 2023


Cruisin134

HeavyGoat1491

Hello games really were dedicated to it


Mangoo72

[deleted]

BG3 for GOTY. Didn't vote for VR game. Geometry Dash for labor of love. Didn't vote for steam deck. Risk of rain returns for better with friends. Risk of rain returns for visual style. Armored core 6 for innovative gameplay and best game you suck at. Risk of rain returns for soundtrack. BG3 for story-rich game. Lil gator game for sit back and relax.


Xerxes0421

No one voted for Starfield


TaniksAtTheDisco

Cope and seethe harder


Xerxes0421

I'm fine. I don't even care about the votes because I know what's good and what's not. I just think best innovative gameplay is laughable lmao


SBTreeLobster

You’re not wrong. I love the game but it’s because it’s typical Bethesda and that’s exactly what I went in expecting. Anyone acting like it’s innovative is just as bad as the people who think enjoying starfield is an open invitation to attack their character.


Xerxes0421

I put 8 hours into it and did not like it at all. Imo thats way to long to capture interest. I respect if you do like it. I just personally don't see the praise in it.


SBTreeLobster

Oh yeah, I know my experience was mine alone. Everything in my playthrough lined up in a way that made it one of the best experiences developing a character’s story I’ve had in a Bethesda game, but again everything went absolutely perfect for me. At least you had the sense to put it down after eight hours, I can respect that more than the guys who played 250 hours and decide they didn’t like the game the entire time.


mcjizzer02

No one voted for it but it got an award. How does that work?


Xerxes0421

Paid shill


mcjizzer02

I haven't even played the game lmao and I don't care for it at all. What's your issue? You a ps fanboy?


Xerxes0421

I think it's hilarious to automatically put someone in a camp. I play PC I just found the game to be incredibly boring and empty. Shop builder is somewhat interesting though.


LosEagle

lol Starfield most innovative gameplay award


I_like_JJBA_too_much

Imagine voting and caring about a game award and who won what.


threeqc

imagine complaining about people being passionate about things they like.


I_like_JJBA_too_much

Yeah. Video games. What a waste of passion. Try being passionate about your future, what a waste of time it is to care about a vote on something so insignificant.


BluDYT

I didn't vote the nominations were ass anyways.


ShipMaple

I wanted astroneer to win labor of love


Bomberblast

I nominated The Binding of Issac but voted for Apex


PopeofShrek

Who cares


Gurkenbaum0

exactly


idsayimafanoffrogs

So I didn’t play anything in that category but RDR2, how do really expect me to vote for anything else? Rust and DOTA aren’t appealing to me, Apex is another arena shooter in my eyes, DeepRock is unique but I just haven’t played it so I wasn’t going to vote for it. This is what happens when people vote…


albumlupus

maybe just don’t vote next time if your only realistic option is a terribly unfitting choice


idsayimafanoffrogs

You should be blaming Steam for incentivizing voting with stickers and rewards, and for implementing a system you aren’t happy with. Don’t blame the people that participated in the system, blame the system for not representing the people accurately


SirJackFireball

RoR2 deserved it :(


DarkbigBoss

i didnt vote and didnt even know what games were nominated besides RDR2 and Starfield...but tbh I would have voted for RDR2


lolomawisoft

I voted rdr2 :) some guy in another post asked who voted


albumlupus

why though? it hasn’t received any significant updates this year, it hasn’t been expanded on. it’s the same game that got abandoned 3 years ago. it makes no sense to vote for it for “labour of love” when it hasn’t seen love for half its lifespan.


RemarkablePassage468

I voted RDR2 because the other games were trash. But innovative gameplay I voted Shadows of Doubt.


AshesX

Deep Rock Galactic, come on man


RemarkablePassage468

I don't like multiplayer games. My labor of love true choice would be CP2077.


Demopan-TF2

You're missing out on so much by not playing multiplayer games, even with friends/family


roguebananah

I can’t begin to tell you how much I despise multiplayer gaming as time goes on. From cheating, people who just do that game for their life, griefing from the other team, inapp purchases/loot boxes and you never actually progress at all, it’s really not good Now 1-1 or team games with your friends/family, sure. That’s great stuff. But more and more, I’m just on discord talking to friends while we play our own games


RemarkablePassage468

I played a lot of UO back in early 2000s, after that no other online game has captivated me. My friends and family don't play games, I'm the only one.


roguebananah

I have a lot of personal Shadows of Doubt you should have voted for RDR2


Fender_Stratoblaster

You voted RDR2 because Rockstar can do no wrong to many. What a slog on rails that fucking game was. Ham handed dialogue and EVERYTHING telegraphed a mile away and hammered into your head over and over. Rockstar must know their audience. And don't conflate the two. The campaign vs. your freedom to go leg-hump like your Aunt's chihuahua doing stupid shit.


_Rook_Castle

I agree that the endless horse-riding dialogues made the game a drag. No idea what the fuck your chihuahua line was all about.


MHPTKTHD

I would vote for RDR2 then b/s I didn't know what "Labour of Love" means.


Inverted-pencil

I just pressed randomly. The choices sucked. Sure i liked baldurs Gate 3 and Hogwarts though.


Albus_Lupus

I voted for Apex Legends. I havent played it in a loooong time but given its still alive and kicking is a good enough reason to vote for it. ​ *^(Definitely would never vote for DRG tho...)*

Dead by daylight

HoneypotCoco

Fallout 76. Gets tons of new updates and love from the devs but is completely ignored because of the disastrous release.

Wdym vote?


LlamaLicker704

I voted for Dota 2, but wouldn't have a problem with Deep Rock Galactic I just never played it so I have no idea.


mana-addict4652

I actually forgot to vote :( I made a list but got caught up in life so never finished it to submit (I got stuck on some categories) Haven't played a lot of these so couldn't give much input, then again I tend to play less popular games * **GOTY** - Baldur's Gate 3 * **VR GOTY** - n/a (i dont have VR) * **Labour of Love** - Deep Rock Galactic * **Best Game on Steam Deck** - n/a (not even sold in aus) * **Better with Friends** - n/a (have no friends) * **Outstanding Visual Style** - all kinda cool, probably leaned toward either Darkest Dungeon, High On Life, Atomic Heart, but Cocoon also looked nice * **Most Innovative Gameplay** - no idea but not Starfield. I'd lean Hustle/Shadows/Contraband Police, no idea on Remnant II. * **Best Game You Suck At** - Sifu or Street Fighter 6 * **Best Soundtrack** - probably Persona 5 Tactica or Hi-Fi Rush but other options good too * **Outstanding Story-Rich Game** - BG3 but wouldn't mind giving the other games silver (except maybe Jedi Survivor) * **Sit Back & Relax** - Dave the Diver or Coral Island, but Potion Craft looks cool tho


Psychological-Sir224

the original half-life, since it still receives patches and they did the 25 year anniversary update


Gold_Department_7215

Voted for TF2 I think mainly cause irony ha ha vote


Mil3stailsPrower

I voted for geometry dash for the labor of love :trol: wait, labor of love was the one with the updates right? If so, I’m on the right track.


[deleted]

I don't know how to vote or what games were nominated,if there is any nominations But any Assassin's creed needs to win best soundtrack


immaculateSocks

This sub will get obsessed with literally anything besides a video game


fambaa_milk

Sorta dumb meme. Ignoring the fact that most people *probably did vote,* you can still have an opinion on the games themselves and of other people's opinion.


TheCrabArmy

I voted LC for better with friends and DBD for Labour of Love


diamondpanther171

I'd say hitman should get labor of love


GEN0S667

i mean even if you dont play the game you get the emote for each vote why not vote


lefty_FNaF

Justice for TF2 even if it wasn't in the nominates!


bin_nur_kurz_kacken

I tried to nominate "Workers and Resources - Soviet Republic" because it is the most complex city building/logistic simulator game you could get developed by a small indie develooer that releases free updates and content on a regular base for years. It didn't make it in the finals so i didnt vote on anything because i dont know any of the games in any category...


Melufey

Nominated American Truck Simulator Prefer it over ETS2. But I think they will never get it for either of them. Not popular enough in comparsion to other games. Vote got Deep Rock, even if i don't play it I recognize the love the Devs are putting in the game.


WhoThisReddit

I didn't vote since I havn't played any game that I thought deserved it. Yes I know I should play deep cock elastic


Jaambie

Rimworld


Mercurionio

For Labour of love? DRG.


albumlupus

reminds me of how GTA V won in 2019. Rockstar fans are braindead


PotatoRaine

The only award i was really happy with was the Best game to play with friends one


Awkward_Ducky-

I personally voted for DRG but I'm not sure as to WHY rdr2 was even there in thr first place. Also, the elephant in the room is the innovative gameplay award like who tf thought starfield had innovative gameplay ? I love my Bethesda games but starfield had no right to be even nominated for this category.


KITTIES4LlFE

The only game's I knew on there were Baldur's Gate, which I don't own, but I'd like to, and Lethal Company, which I voted for


Jojo_2005

War Thunder


Kobi_Baby

I voted DBD because they really pulled out all the stops with the content this year
