Even if it weren't for all of the problems the game has it's hardly innovative. I don't think a Bethesda game has been innovative ever. They didn't even invent the fallout franchise.

Arena was pretty special in 1994. Day/night cycles, dynamic weather, procedural generation to create one of the biggest maps for a game even now...

It's interesting to keep in mind the basically no one who worked on that game still works for Bethesda.

Everyone is mad about this but I still don't understand how RDR2 was even nominated for Labor of Love, let alone won.

Valve loves money and it clearly shows. The steam awards just became an advertising tool, people in Valve had to write the paragraph about the game.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

No they don’t care about the service, we should be able to play games without steam client, we should be able to resell digital games, developers should not had to pay $100 non refundable fees to upload one game each time, etc.

Steam cares about money, it’s just that simple.

They're a business, not a charity. OF COURSE they care about money. What's nice is that they do it ethically and in a consumer-friendly way.

Are you able to resell digital games on Nintendos platforms? What about playstation or xbox? Wow, no you say?
