    Starfield won the innovative gameplay award? RDR2 won labor of love award? Some of these winners are extremely strange.

      The problem with the Steam Awards is that they try to get as many people to vote as possible, even if people haven’t actually played the games in question.

      People will see a bunch of games they haven’t played, be like “oh hey I at least know the name of that one” and vote for it even though they have no idea if the others are more deserving or not.

        You don’t even need to have played the games to vote.
        It even tells you if you’ve played each game, but still let’s you vote on the ones you haven’t.
