I think RDR and Starfield winning were ops planned by their respective communities. Like, these games are clearly neither of these things, yet they won. It’s seems intentional. Not on Valves part. I have no proof, of course. It’s just baffling.
How is it baffling? Gamers are “idiots” in the sense that memes are usually more important than useful communication. This post is exactly the same type of thing, a “dwarf” tag doesn’t really help communicate anything useful; am I more likely to want a “dwarf” game, or more likely to want a specific genre of game?
Starfield and RDR won their respective categories because gamers like to meme about. It’s the same reason useless Steam reviews get highly upvoted, gamers like to meme about.
What’s even worse is the reviews like “I’m gay” that gets a ton of “helpful” awards. They’re easy to scroll past, but it’s indicative of the unhelpful nature of a lot of gamers.
Not as bad as those asinine game guides that all say, “How to walk: press W lololol we’re all so funny and goofy 🤪” stfu that was funny maybe once at most, now the whole community is flooded with that stupid shit.
Oh my god, yes I’ve seen those! I saw it on Dark Souls 2 community and thought it was funny because the in game messages other players leave are usually not helpful at all, so I didn’t really pay it much attention. Then I saw it in Death Stranding, Skyrim, Lunacid, and a few others.
Yeah I didn’t understand how RDR won that award. Weird.
It made about as much sense as Starfield winning the most innovative gameplay…
Awards are decided by number of votes
People are idiots
Do the math

I really do hate those goofy ass reviews.
300 hours It’s okay I guess
Wow. So helpful in helping me decide if I want to spend my hard earned money on this game.
