People voted for some pretty weird stuff during this year’s Steam Awards
The player-voted Steam Awards have reached their conclusion, and the results are about as weird as the nominees. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the weirdest game possible won in several categories, such as Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Labor Of Love award and Starfield for “Most Innovative Gameplay”.
If you're unaware, every year, Steam runs awards that are voted on by players for a variety of categories and every year they feature some of the most unhinged choices and winners imaginable. This year is no exception with Starfield taking home the award for "Most Innovative Gameplay", and Red Dead Redemption 2 winning the "Labor Of Love" award for some reason.
Back in the day, GameFAQs would run polls for the greatest characters in gaming (or something equally ridiculous). The users of the Something Awful forums would, en masse, vote for the characters nobody liked expected, breaking the entire thing and upsetting many teenagers who couldn’t bear to see Sephiroth lose to Bub and Bob.
This has that same energy.
