The Linux 2017 GOTY Awards are now open for nominations

By - | Views: 18,347

Continuing our tradition and a day later than last year, the Linux 2017 GOTY Awards are now open for nominations.

Wait, it’s 2018 already, aren’t you a little late?

Well—no. We do things differently here, we like to give all developers a chance to be included. It’s only fair to give out awards based on 2017 once it’s actually over.

It’s a little different to the previous years! This time, to nominate a game we first need to have it in our database. This should hopefully prevent multiple different spellings of the same titles in a category (which took a while to clean last time). If it doesn’t exist, there’s links below the nomination box to add it, or to email us!

Nominations close on January 10th!

We will then take a day or so to ensure everything is going smoothly and then open it for voting! You do need a GamingOnLinux account to vote once that feature opens.

Head over to the Linux GOTY Awards now to get nominating!

To be clear: Don't submit them in the comments here. You are free to chat as usual in the comments though.

Ps. Please, stop submitting stuff from before 2017, unless they're going in the open source game or FOSS category.

Only games released in 2017 or also games ported in 2017 but released earlier?

Linux release (it's in the descriptions of the categories).

I think my own problem with 2017 Linux GOTY is that I haven't played enough of them. I think it is unfair to vote, without having a valid opinion (i.e. Actually playing for myself) on the best games released last year. Also, many of the games I have been playing (and so do have a valid opinion on) were not released in 2017.

I'll vote - but don't expect decent results (at least from me).

I couldn't add EU4: Cradle of Civilization DLC because it wasn't on the list, and i did not find a way to add it in(but maybe i missed it).
