    Nothing. Steam Award are sadly popularity awards.

      How else would they be picked?

      People picked the nominees then picked the best of those.

      Should Steam have just told everyone who was best by their own choice?

    It feels like they really dialed in the extraction shooter gameplay with ARC. It combines gambling mechanics (looting = rng, they even play a little tone when you get an epic item to really drive it home) with a solid third person shooter and makes pvp optional. It’s less intense than tarkov and more serious than duckov, and lots of people seem to enjoy it.
