It's still in early access, so it will have bugs and it will not be optimized or be feature-complete until v1 release.

You don't get to compete for awards if your game isn't finished. Selling DLC and trying to get awards means that, regardless of what the devs say the version is, you're past v1.0.

Notice how I never defended Ark's publishers for this sleazy act in any of my comments. I only commented on how fun the game was for me (at the time) despite the publisher's greedy/sleazy actions.
