Anon followed the Steam Awards

I tried to play Red Dead Online a few weeks ago, got disconnected three times trying to do the first mission.

Really surprised that seems like I'm the only one who's ever looked this up. But January of last year they did update the packages on Steam. I have no idea what it was, and I'm not saying that the game should have won the award. Really it highlights a way to exploit the algorithms.

- They are.
  The issue is you have to vote on all categories, not just the ones you are interested in.
- They are voted on by users. But there is a list that is presented to the user to pick from.

What does the last sentence mean?

On 4chan pajeet is usually used to refer to Indian people, not sure why this person would be calling rockstar fans pajeets though. Race of the fans voting doesn’t seem like it would matter to me

Im pretty sure it was voted ironically

When you vote for the Steam awards you have to choose a game for every award to be able to submit it so people just don't care for some and put it any game they liked and enjoyed. Also, a lot of people probably don't read the award's name and just put in anything.
- That's simply not true. I skipped multiple categories, including this one, because I didn't have a good answer to give.
This, Starfield winning 'innovation', Cities Skylines 2 winning 'strategy' - pretty sure the infamous hacker known as 4chan was behind this.
Could also be they didn't read past the title of the award, tbh.
Which pointed out to me just how little I care about award shows and competitions. The only thing that will come of an ironic vote is unironic positive press.

This was more a steam f@#£ up. They required you to vote in all categories, to vote in any. This led to many people just voting for the one they knew about or vaguely liked, in categories they weren't interested in.

It did not, you could just not select one and keep scrolling. They did however reward you with stickers for voting in each category which probably had the same result
- Seriously, I keep seeing people parrot that and I don't get it. Do you guys not have scroll wheels?
You could definitely skip categories -- I don't have a VR headset so I didn't vote for best VR game.
I'm pretty sure a few of the wins were trolls, RDR2 won labor of love, Starfield won most innovative gameplay, Last of Us 1 won best soundtrack (this one might not be a troll, but I believe it might've been due to the godawful PC port.)
