If anyone was still taking them seriously, they sure as hell aren’t now.

    So you are upset that the majority of the Steam users voted for a game you don’t like? Isn’t this the whole idea of democracy?

    I also don’t agree with some of the winners, but since I took part in the vote, I don’t blame anyone for the outcome, I gave my vote, the rest is outside my control.

      The point is Starfield won “most innovative game” when it’s the same rehashed Bethesda RPG we have had since Morrowind. The only reason it could’ve won that, was ironically. Same for Red Dead 2 and “labor of love” with it famously being crunched through, with 100hr a week of work for people, etc. It’s not “we don’t like this game”.

          Yeah, no shit. That’s why OP says “these awards are useless” - since memelords get an award to Starfield. You went a step further, accusing OP of “not liking a game” implying it deserves the “most innovative” award.

      They’re opinions are objectively wrong.

      Starfiled is a copy paste of fallout and skyrim, but this time in space.

      RDR2 hasn’t been updated in years, and still wins labor of love?

      You can’t look at me with a straight face and say these games received a well earned award. There are so many smaller titles that are more deserving of the award, but they don’t have the same name power as these bigger games.

      I really think people are just mad that we got Skyrim in space instead of just another Skyrim. Medival sword rpg games have been done to death. Yawn. I agree that they dropped the ball on the modding situation and fucking suck for it but that’s not why people dislike Starfield. If we instead got elder scrolls 6, it would have been of exactly the same quality and have all the same issues yet people would be pissing their pants in excitement just because it’s elder scrolls.
