Starfield wins Most Innovative Gameplay. If that doesn't prove game awards are a joke, nothing will.

EDIT Also Hi-Fi Rush didn't get Best Soundtrack. The music is part of the gameplay. If you time your attacks to the beat. You will do more damage.

Remember that Stray (the game where you can meow and jump) won most innovative gameplay last year. The Steam Awards is purely a popularity contest, people just vote for the game they played for the badge.

They need to take the incentives away and just let people who care about the categories vote
