The winners of The Steam Awards 2023 were announced yesterday, but a few of the victors have called the value of the fan vote into question.
Lethal Company is up for Game of the Year at The Steam Awards
18.12.2023 - 16:36 / destructoid.com / Winter Sale
Lethal Company has enjoyed enormous success since it launched just a couple of months ago. From smashing its player record not long after releasing to being the top-selling game on Steam (where it still sits), it’s been quite the journey for indie developer Zeekerss. Now, the title could walk away with one of gaming’s greatest honors.
The Steam Awards recently revealed the player-voted nominations for this year. With categories such as Labor of Love, Best Game on Steam Deck, Most Innovative Gameplay, and more, there’s a lot of competition about. However, it’s seeing Lethal Company up for Game of the Year that’s most intriguing.

Obviously, we’re aware of just how successful the release has been, but it says something that it’s able to go up against the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Resident Evil 4. Those are some elbows Zeekerss’ game is rubbing against, and it’ll be interesting to see whether it can come out on top against such names.
In a world of AAA flexing and classic releases being given a new lease on life in the form of remakes and remasters, it’s tough for independent games to stand out. Whether Lethal Company takes the Game of the Year award away or not doesn’t detract from the fact that it was nominated in the first place.
At the time of writing, it’s still going strong, and I have – rather ashamedly – still not got round to playing it.
If you want to vote on your favorite in each of the Steam Awards categories, you can do so from December 21 (when the Steam Winter sale begins). Voting will close at 10am PT on January 2, so you’ve got the holiday period to make your choices.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Wins Steam’s Game of the Year Award
Steam has unveiled the winners of its annual fan-voted awards. Headlining the categories is the Game of the Year award, which predictably went to Baldur’s Gate 3. The RPG was up against Hogwarts Legacy, EA Sports FC 24, Resident Evil 4, and Lethal Company. Baldur’s Gate 3 also managed to walk away with the Outstanding Story-Rich Game award, where it was in competition with Lies of P, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil 4, and Love Is All Around.

Players voted for some of the worst choices possible in the Steam Awards
The player-voted Steam Awards have reached their conclusion, and the results are about as weird as the nominees. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the weirdest game possible won in several categories, such as Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Labor Of Love award and Starfield for "Most Innovative Gameplay".

The Steam Awards 2023 nominees sure seem weird to me
The nominees for the public-voted Steam Awards have been announced and they are, perhaps more than ever before, baffling to me. If I was being uncharitable, I'd say that's because the list is overrun by games with large multiplayer communities that can be encouraged to vote for them - but who would want to be uncharitable? Let's instead say that the list is certainly not boring, even if Starfield gets a nod for "most innovative gameplay".
