Because you should be expected tp finish your product.

Part of it is probably just the bad apples spoiling the bunch, except there's a lot of bad apples. Any time someone puts a game out in EA and it stays there forever. A game getting an award doesn't guarantee its completion to 1.0, and that's probably part of the worry here. You want X, while there's still a chance you could just dump it and run? Then throw it that there's games that have hit 1.0 and still update, and when you compare X and Y, some people think Y deserve it more.

Likely this is a Valheim post, and while I like Valheim (I've even been replaying it recently) the game doesn't qualify for this award, full stop. They have probably 50 pages of comments on thdir steam post about it saying thdy dont deserve it yet. A popular alternative people like is Deep Rock Galactic, which hit 1.0 a while back, and is full of spirit as well, and has been updating with seasons and etc. My only hangup with DRG is they still sell cosmetics, versus a game like Terraria which won last year and pretty much only ever sells the game more with their updates.
