Ennie Award nominees are selected by a panel of judges, but the awards are given based on an online vote. Even the nomination is an honor \u2014 it means you&#8217;ve been singled out by a team of people who know games well and who are looking for the best work to recognize. As the\u00a0<em>Oath&#8217;s\u00a0<\/em>editor I am deeply grateful for the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Actually winning is a very long shot indeed for a small-press publisher. It means your fans supported you in the voting in a big way. That&#8217;s why so much of the thanks for the <em>Oath&#8217;s<\/em> win goes to you, its readers.
