Intro

Welcome to the Results of the 2022 RA Awards! For two months the RetroAchievements community nominated, cutdown, and voted on the best RA had to offer for 2022. I just want to thank anyone that contributed in any kind of way and that includes voting. This is a massive project and it continues to grow just like RA.
