I had a similar reaction on these titles…honestly I felt that the results were rigged. Is it just me?

I don’t know but it would be very like Valve to put zero effort into ensuring it’s not manipulated.

That said, most large polls trend much more mainstream than people expect.

Starfield may have been a bold new frontier in mediocrity but it nevertheless had about 2 million more chances to be someomes favorite game compared to some indie title.

Probably just the fact that it’s a popularity contest. Doubt it’s rigged, it’s just poorly moderated and fabricated.

Thanks, makes much more sense. Too bad that some great titles lost just because they were not so popular. To be fairer Steam should add some rules like: of you didn’t play the game, you cannot vote it…

But why would RDR2 Fans give it the Labor of Love award with Rockstar that abandoned it years ago to focus on selling more Microtransaction in GTA-Online
