Yea, most of the time we are complaining about bugs or mechanics and not being listened to. But regardless you cant argue that Warthunder hasnt been labored on for nearly a decade and a half, and doesnt still to this day capture your attention. Its a good game overall, and based on hours to dollars input, an incredible “value.” Hence my nomination, (and also i need more noobs to pad my stats with, yall are getting good at the game again lmao)
No Man’s Sky and War Thunder are the only games I think of.
If it wasn’t for NMS’s update this year, War Thunder would be my nomination.
NMS is a huge one too! I got it when i came out, and wow have they really delivered on their promises. But i dont play it as often as I do WT. Id be happy if either won
Meh, i’d probably go for the competition if it had any. It’s only “realistic-ish” tank game out there
Hate the players not the game.
Great game with fun physics and stuff it’s a shame about the players though.
Nah, can’t look past the buggy updates that constantly break something every update that take weeks to fix at times requiring multiple patches.
As much as I do love the game, I certainly wouldn’t nominate it for “Labor of Love” anymore, unfortunately. Not for the past 3-5 years.
Do love the game though.
Gaijin hits me every night after 3 beers. But in the moorning tells me that he loves me.
Thats enough to stay by his side, I know he will change for me.
You just don’t know him like I do!!!
The day I stop playing war thunder is the day I run out of things to do. But gaijin know a few things about keeping their player base in a grind with the constant fear of missing out.
We jest, but we love.
PS:
sales, SL boxes, and new content when?!?
I have hundreds of games on Steam and GoG. I have the resources to go and buy any game out there (and the machine to play them). But I choose War Thunder over all of them. I love this game.
I’ve honestly got to ask, is this actually the only game you have played ever on steam in the history of ever?
I’m telling you right now - there are THOUSANDS of games that deserve this award better. Don’t make me laugh. Warthunder deserves a steam reward like Jeff Bezos deserves extra sweatshops. Give me a break.
Why are you here if you dislike the game so much? Go play those other games.
Because stockholm syndrome and I’ve put too much money in to not complain. It’s fun. And hey, didn’t I just see you somewhere else talking about your Tiger 105? That’s nice grandma, let’s get you to bed.

Just because we like the game doesn’t mean we can’t recognize that there are more deserving games.
That’s what happens when there’s a monopoly.
Doesn’t mean the game deserves the award, which, by far, it hasn’t for years now.
The guy I replied to obviously dislikes the game. Not even talking about awards. You can go vote for whatever trash you want (what is popular these days? slop like Battlefield 6?). This game is great, btw, and it’s the game that I spend most my gaming time in. It’s getting my vote.
I absolutely love making fun of the game. And I will continue to do so. And even I, a lowly, worthless, disgusting, internet dwelling bottom feeder troll - even I can tell the difference between shit and silver. So why not take my word for it? Even a rooster knows when the sun is rising, maybe open your eyes for once.
“trash”
There are hundreds of games that released in this year alone that are thousands of times more deserving of the award than WT. Prove me wrong.
I’m gonna say “Dispatch for $450, please!” You want a labor of love? Now THAT’s a labor of love. Gaijin should take notes, and lots of them.
PEAK, Pillars of Eternity, ATS, just to name a very few.
