Are Hogwarts Legacy Creators Clowns? Gamers Criticize Developers for Asking to Nominate Game for Steam Awards

The start of the Steam Award nomination season, as usual, was accompanied by heated discussions in the community. This time, Avalanche Software came under fire, asking fans to nominate Hogwarts Legacy in the Labor of Love category.

This nomination is usually given to projects that developers continue to support and develop, regularly delighting players with major updates. However, many fans expressed disappointment, noting that Hogwarts Legacy has received virtually no significant updates or new content since its release.



In the comments on Steam, users began to actively express dissatisfaction, accusing the developers of trying to achieve undeserved recognition. Some even ironically awarded the studio a "clown medal" (in fact, a "jester" icon), which has long become a symbol of criticism in the gaming community.

Players noted that other projects, truly actively developed, deserve this award more. For example, such as No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077, where regular updates have dramatically improved and expanded the gaming experience.

Amid the scandal, Avalanche Software has not yet commented, and the fate of the game's nomination remains in question.
