    I think people just love to troll so they nominated Starfield. Then figured it would be really funny if SF won.

    Unless the reality is that the majority of gamers does not give a single fuck about quality and innovation and just wants to play the next FIFA EA FC, CoD and Bugthesda stuff

      Yeah it’s really soul crushing to see starfield win most innovative gameplay. One less incentive for real innovative gameplay to be made.

      the reality is that the majority of gamers does not give a single fuck about quality and innovation the awards and just wants to play the next FIFA EA FC, CoD and Bugthesda get the rewards for voting and picks random games or maybe ones they’ve heard the names of.

      I hadn’t even heard of most of the games up for vote, let alone actually played them, so I just randomly picked cool-looking banners or names. I think a lot of people are like me and just picked the couple games they’d actually heard of before.

          To get the rewards Steam handed out for it. This year they gave out 11 chat stickers, one for each one you voted on.

    thats because steam awards are a complete joke, and entirely worthless as any measure of anyrhing but name recognisability

    Maybe the support was emotional?
