    I think people just love to troll so they nominated Starfield. Then figured it would be really funny if SF won.

    Unless the reality is that the majority of gamers does not give a single fuck about quality and innovation and just wants to play the next FIFA EA FC, CoD and Bugthesda stuff

      I want to believe people just like stupid jokes, but your last sentence might be right. Lots of gamers don’t care about quality just want to play the latest popular titles.

      There are so many negative SF reviews with dozens of hours of playtime. These people already gave their money and game stats to Bethesda so what’s the point of whining?

      As long as people preorder and buy stuff because of the FOMO effect the AAA industry will not improve.

        To warn other people off from buying the game? That’s kinda the whole point.

          You can watch reviews, or try the game for a couple hours with an option to refund. Why spend 50+ hours on it if it’s that bad?

          To warn other people? Please…

      It’ even dumber than that, imo. People just click random known games for the steam awards, because no one cares and they just want their rewards.

      the reality is that the majority of gamers does not give a single fuck about quality and innovation the awards and just wants to play the next FIFA EA FC, CoD and Bugthesda get the rewards for voting and picks random games or maybe ones they’ve heard the names of.

      I hadn’t even heard of most of the games up for vote, let alone actually played them, so I just randomly picked cool-looking banners or names. I think a lot of people are like me and just picked the couple games they’d actually heard of before.

          Because Steam gave out 11 exclusive stickers for voting on the different categories. It’s not a good idea to give out incentives to get people to vote for something because they’ll do it for the reward without having any idea what they’re voting for.
