I fully believe that particular occurrence was just people blindly voting for the games they recognized. Tbh, I’d be more disappointed if it was a coordinated effort. Highlighting a smaller game that is is great would be exponentially more effective and beneficial than using the awards to complain about a game you don’t enjoy playing. The studios aren’t going to notice, and neither will most people (like me), so it’s really just wasted effort.
Nah dude. Both cases are incredibly famous for what they were voted for. It was countless people shitposting. There were other, better recognizable games in there. Like Red Dead 2 is from 6 years ago.

Tbh, I did blindly vote for games I recognized or looked good in the screenshots/videos.
It was you!
Just so you know, supposedly you don’t have to vote at all to get the rewards anymore.

That’s what the “Labor of Love” award is supposed to be for: games that are older, but the devs have continued to support them as a passion project.
Both of those games being ironically nominated for those awards is apropos.
