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.
