Don’t be so upset, these awards are decided by the gamers. Every Steam user can take part in the selection and voting.

Such nonsensical results. It really is a popularity contest.
At this point, I think it’s clear that voting restrictions of some sort are necessary. My first thought: players can only vote in a category if they’ve got at least 5 hours of total gameplay distributed amongst at least 25% of the games in that category, with a minimum of 30 minutes of gameplay per game.

I was forced to vote in some categories because they promised me a chat emoji.
I did, however, not vote by popularity, but I imagine many did.

I literally only voted on one thing by accident because the button made it look like I was going to go to another page to choose my vote in that category. Turns out I was just voting for the game I was looking at immediately and irrevocably.
