Steam Awards 2023 winners called a \u201csick joke\u201d as players want voting system changed ValveThe winners of Steam Awards 2023 are out but players have been left perplexed by the results, with some going as far as to call it a \u201csick joke\u201d, and many want the voting system changed. Although the Steam Winter sale is one of the best times for PC gamers to grab their favorite games at discounted prices, players aren\u2019t impressed with the yearly awards that have also been handed out during the sale. Many were left confused with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Starfield\u2019s Steam Awards wins this year in particular. While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has won the Game of the Year award on Steam, many of the other results have left players scratching their heads. Steam Awards 2023 winners called \u201cridiculous\u201d A user posted the winners of Steam Awards 2023 on Reddit and the community immediately started criticizing the current voting system. One player said, \u201cRDR2 WON LABOR OF LOVE???? THEY OFFICIALLY ABANDONED IT IN 2021 AND HAVE LEFT IT TO DIE SINCE.\u201d Another user agreed and added, \u201cthis really shows that Steam awards need a change. How about the nominees are just the winners? You actually have some rather decent nominees, while the final winners are always just a dumb popularity contest.\u201d Some players also feel Steam needs to work on their award titles as \u201cLabour of love is badly phrased.\u201d \u201cPeople have to actually read the description to understand that they are asking for the most supported game\u201d they continued. To RDR2 being declared as the winner of \u201cLabour of Love\u201d, a player said, \u201cMeanwhile, Deep Rock Galactic gets nominated like every year, because that\u2019s a game which really deserves this title, never wins. Just sad.\u201d The recent reviews of Starfield on Steam are mostly negative. When it won the award of \u201cMost Innovative Gameplay\u201d, a player got tempestuous and said, \u201cI want to know how Starfield won for innovative gameplay. What the f**k was so innovative about empty f***ing planets and loading screens everywhere?\u201d One commenter simply said, \u201cThis is some sick joke lmao.\u201d It remains to be seen if Valve will take note of this criticism for next year\u2019s awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
