    Every year, Steam has a "Steam Awards" where its users vote on which
    are the 'best' games in pre-determined categories. Like most awards,
    these are highly contentious and usually favor the most POPULAR games.
    But this year, the awards are just strange.

    So are the Golden Globes... or any other industry awards for that matter.

    No argument here, and I'm disgusted that a russian game won anything.
    Gee I wonder how that came about.

    Oh that's in full swing already: Prosecutors & judges are being swatted, state party websites reported as 'unsafe', all kinds of shit.
