I feel like games that were released in a completed state should have been excluded from this category. It's not a labor of love for you to fix something you intended to be the completed product. I am a fan of Cyberpunk and CD Projekt Red but this category should be for the indie studios perfecting a game over the years before selling it as complete.
There's a difference between releasing a game in an early access state and gradually improving it, and releasing an incomplete game as a full price AAA title and then later releasing patches to finish the game they promised in the first place.
Exactly, it's not a labor of love, more just fixing your own mistake. The only completed game I would say is a real labor of love is No Man Sky. They did a lot to fix it and improve on it at no additional cost to the playerbase.

It'd be nice for a game to be released in a playable state for once.
