Red Dead Redemption 2 wins the Steam post-launch support prize in 2023 in some way
It’s safe to say that 2023 was an excellent time for games on video. It was among the top games of recent times, with numerous amazing games that gamers will discuss for many years.
2023 brought us Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Red Dead Redemption 2 and more. Wait, what? What was the reason Red Dead Redemption 2 was discussed? This is indeed among the best video games ever made. However, the Rockstar Games western game was first released in 2018.
One of the best things about a year ending is the celebration of every great thing on television and films and, of course, the video games played during this period. GAMINGbible also celebrated the ‘ 10 Greatest Video Games in 2023’. Numerous outlets also have their awards for the end of the year, and Steam is no exception. Steam platform isn’t an exception.
One game that has caused a stir at some of the 2023 Steam Awards is Red Dead Redemption 2 on, two levels. This is not the only reason a game released in 2018 was included in the awards ceremony at the end of the year. However, it also won the honour of being named “Labor of Love.” Red Dead Redemption 2 beat Dota 2 Rust, Deep Rock Galactic, and Apex Legends. I understand that all the games mentioned above were released in 2023 or earlier however, they’re live-service games that are frequently supported.
“This sport has been on the market for some time. The team has passed the time of their new baby but, like the parents that they are, the creators keep nurturing and encouraging their work. The game, even today, continues producing new content throughout the years.” is the title of the award category.
It is possible to say that Red Dead Redemption 2 was awarded this prize in recognition of Red Dead Online. However, this game has come under fire due to its insufficient content support, particularly in comparison with GTA Online. In addition, Rockstar Games has seemingly stopped the idea of offering Red Dead Online an actual content platform, so why do you explain how RDR2 picks this prize? It’s worth noting that this is the same event that had awarded the prize for the most innovative gameplay, the award of ‘Most Innovative Gameplay’ to Starfield.
Perhaps it’s worthwhile to remember that players cannot only decide on those who win in the Steam Awards but nominate, too. Also, could Red Dead Redemption 2 getting this honour could be trolling as a way of rebellion against Rockstar Games’ apparent lack of involvement?
“Did you truly suggest Red Dead Redemption 2 the game that hasn’t seen any updates since 2021, to win an award called the Labor of Love award in the Steam Awards 2023?” posted Gamer PC. Gamer.
“It’s stupefying to learn the fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 was awarded the Labor of Love award in the Steam Awards,” declared BaileyPoints. “This is the only game to have won this prize because it has the most players on Steam in recent times, however this game isn’t being upgraded with fresh information or adequately supported over the last few the past few years.”
“The thing I don’t like concerning this year’s Steam Awards this year is the fact that not just was Pizza Tower not be awarded Best Soundtrack and Best Gameplay, but Red Dead Redemption 2 took home Labor of Love even though Rockstar is only keeping the RDROservers up and running, while the game’s been canceled for the past time,” said Pyromaildragon.
It will be interesting to find out which games win unpopular awards at 2024’s Steam Awards 2024. Maybe this is GTA Online’s chance to shine. We’ll cheer for the unwanted matches. It’s yours, Grand Theft Auto!
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
