I'd say the devs need to have done something with the game for it to be a labor of love.
The last time RDR2 got an actual content update was September 2022.

It's a massive game that was absolutely a labor of love, but it's Rockstar we're talking about here. They turn love into microtx and milk it till it's dry. Then it's to the meat packing facilities for a little mobile/console porting so it's innards can be broken up to be resold ๐. No real fault to the devs, art team, and story team that absolutely did put love into the game though.
That's not what this award is. This is the "old game that continues to get lots of new content" award. RDR2 hasn't had new content since 2022.
Yeah, but who reads the descriptions?
"Read what I'm actually voting on / clicking on / agreeing to / etc?!? Never!"
Phishing scammers thank you for your service.
Rule #1 of any UI design is "Nobody reads anything"
Just rename the award. Best Ongoing Development? Best Live Service Experience?
Yeah that was basically my original comment too, but I realized that's not what the award is actually for.
