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.

This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the debut of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years.

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?
