The voting in general is just a big popularity contest anyway. I forget what the other contestants were, but they weren't any more innovative than Starfield.
Now, am I saying Starfield should have won Most Innovative Gameplay? No...well maybe yes, but only as a meme. Because if there's any category it especially doesn't deserve, it's probably innovation.
The only one that would have been cool is if DRG had won Labor of Love. Hogwarts as Game of the Year would have been hilarious for the screeching, but that's about it.
In general, just pretty uninspired stuff all around. I can't say the winner don't deserve some of their awards, with what else they were against. There are better games out there, but Steam users didn't vote for them to be nominated.
Yeah, most of the games nominated for the categories were already a shit community choice. So the popularity contest for winning a category is even worse.
I voted for Hogwarts for the lulz, but I never played it. In general I voted for games I never played, cause the games I played weren't on the list.
Yep. I think they were just looking for somewhere to fit it in. I think the game is significant. If only for not delivering what people apparently want from space and planetary landing/exploration/procedural generation. There's a lesson somewhere.
I like the game though.
