BG3 got a native steam deck version that has improved the game quite a lot.

Turning an unplayable ripoff game into something that is maybe worth the steam sale price ten years later isn’t a “labor of love” it’s mitigating legal risk from it’s investors.
BG3 added a ton of content since release, to the point where they even brought in the entire voice cast to record additional dialogue.

Unplayable? I bought the game at launch and it played absolutely fine.
Was it a barren wasteland with fuck all to do? Sure, but it worked perfectly fine, the last decade has seen HG turn NMS into one of if not the most comprehensive space adventure game.
Since 2016 they have added various additional stuff like VR support, alongside gameplay enhancements (IE: content like building your own fleet, bases, settlements, expeditions, animal taming etc). All for free.
Conversely, larian has repeatedly stated that they do not want to do additional content for BG3; with every patch release it’s “this is it, we’re done with this now”, and whenever quizzed on additional content, such as dlc, The studio claims the Devs were elated to cancel BG3 dlc in favour of making a different game entirely.
Personally, I don’t consider the latter to be an indication of a labour of love, but rather an obligation to their fans (because larian are a very good studio, who care for their fans).
I love both games, but BG3 absolutely did not deserve the labour of love category imo, there are simply far more obvious alternatives.

Hasn’t No Man’s Sky won before? I don’t think you could vote for ones that had won before
Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I was one of the runners-up, and I definitely voted for it… so, either it can win more than once or it didn’t win previously.

NMS has too many bugs, incoherent game design choices, broken promises, broken game mechanics, half-baked mechanics, terrible UI, an unrelatable story, a cardboard universe…

April had a content patch, 12 new subclasses and it enabled crossplay I believe.

No Man’s Sky has added thousands of generic resource gathering tasks by now!
I have tried playing it maybe half a dozen times and come to the same conclusion each time: “This is it?”
It’s a great game for wasting your time in the most banal tasks possible, but not much more.

God I’ve tried three times to enjoy no man’s sky and I just can’t. It’s just endless grinding, no real reward for it, and no way to automate any of the tasks so you can move onto more fun things

Limited replayability? It’s top of mind for me when I’m rattling off replayable games.
