    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.

        To get the rewards Steam handed out for it. This year they gave out 11 chat stickers, one for each one you voted on.

        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.
