You can nominate a game to win a Steam award: http://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwardNominations/ I nominated BeamNG for the "Test of Time" award.
i gave no man's sky the "im not crying there is just something in my eye" and beamng the "woaaaaaah dude" one, sill trying to find other games to nominate
But isn't the "whoooaaaaaaaa dude" award only meant for games with huge plot twists? Also I saw an post where someone nominated no mans sky for a custom reward: Biggest disappointment ever.
I also nominated it for the "Test of Time" award. Well, from what I heard, the game was apparently a "mistake." So that's probably why. That's not my opinion, it's just what I heard be passed around.
It definitely is. I know it. I never got the game but I have heard enough reasons on why the game is utter crap. Just look at the steam reviews. There were no official response from the devs that it was an mistake. There sorta was a message like that from their twitter(I think) account but that didn't come from the devs as the account was hacked apparently.
I went and looked up the Steam reviews. I was surprised. I didn't expect that at all. --- Post updated --- It's probably very unlikely that No Man's Sky is going to receive some of the bigger awards.
