In case you have not noticed, on store page of BeamNG you can nominate BeamNG.Drive for Steam awards right now. --- Post updated --- It ends on 27th this month, so there is 5 days to nominate.
What category should we go for? "Most fun with a machine" or "Game of the year"? For me game of the year would be a good pick, but due to it not being that popular of a title , fun with a machine might be the one easier to do something with.
I did pick most fun with a machine as GOTY goes for some 10th incarnation of AAA game, or maybe something word royale in the name, on that category there is just no chance with our player numbers. Then this game really is most fun with a machine in many ways. AI, vehicle, your computer each can be that machine and while AI has it's own issues, it is really fun and great at times too. You can also build all kind of mechanical machines etc. So kinda that category was natural choice to me.
I've gone for Game of the Year, but it's like a day late to vote now... Good thing I voted beforehand!
This is what my Steam did show me today to be chosen nominees. Not surprisingly I do disagree many of these, but then again it seems to be that great majority does not care too much about inner workings.

As a result, we expanded the set of nominees to 10. In addition, we’ve excluded ourselves from this category. We appreciate the love you’ve shown us, but we want to honor the other awesome developers on Steam, so we have excluded Valve from the final tally.
i bet people just forgot that bethesda (the developer) is not the same as bethesda (the publisher) hopefully maybe lul nah people are trash
BeamNG devs are passing an opportunity to hype people up, a simple blogpost would probably be enough to get people to vote for them. *sigh*
