After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream (www.gamesradar.com)

Nah dude. Both cases are incredibly famous for what they were voted for. It was countless people shitposting. There were other, better recognizable games in there. Like Red Dead 2 is from 6 years ago.

That's what the "Labor of Love" award is supposed to be for: games that are older, but the devs have continued to support them as a passion project.

Both of those games being ironically nominated for those awards is apropos.
