  Or… the votes didn’t matter and they put up whichever game they wanted as a winner.

  People vote for the game they recognise a good deal of the time.

  Has there been some organised brigading from some kind of high profile source maybe? Someone promoting “joke” votes?

    Steam does this themselves by incentivizing votes with badges and profile exp, the latter of which is needed to increase your maximum amount of Steam friends. People vote for the rewards, and as such, so many people vote that you end up “rewarding the good games that everyone played rather than the masterpieces played by only a few.” like the article said.

  Comment seemed to disappear the first time, maybe it was too political. Focused efforts of people to cast doubt on legitimate good games. And people just wanting to break things.
