"Controversy Surrounds Steam Awards 2023 Winners Amidst Calls for Voting Reform"
The Steam Awards 2023 have sparked controversy among players, with many calling the results, including wins for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Starfield, a "sick joke" and questioning the integrity of the voting system. Critics argue that the awards do not reflect the actual labor of love or innovation in gaming, citing games like Deep Rock Galactic as more deserving. There is a growing demand for Valve to revise the award titles and the voting process to better represent player opinions and the quality of games.
