There's this, and there's just trolling, like giving most innovative gameplay to Starfield. The internet's gonna internet, what can you do.

At least the trolls make it obvious they're not voting sincerely. Steam awards are a popularity contest where the categories don't really matter, so I'm just glad less people will take the results seriously this time around.

I don't think there's really any trolling going on (at least enough that it matters), just that people vote for what they know or recognize, like you said a popularity contest. Three of the titles in the Innovative Gameplay section are pretty niche, no matter how good they are. Even Remnant 2 is dwarfed by Starfield sales, so the latter just becomes the default choice for most people.

If there was any other big name AAA title on the list, I think Starfield could have lost.
