    Starfield for most innovative gameplsy? Am I missing something or do people on Steam ride that Bethesda cock hard?

      At the time I’m writing this, recent reviews reached mostly negative (29%), and all-time reviews are mixed (64%). Which is honestly a lot more than it deserves, but I would hardly call that “riding Bethesda’s cock”.

      It’s probably just a matter of big games getting more votes, because of name recognition. This is just a popularity contest, after all.

      Best guess is people voted it because they didn’t know any of the other games and didn’t bother to check.

      The steam awards were never anything but a contest about which game is the most known. I really dislike them due to that, but at least one title (BG3 deserved it this year)
