    No, people should pick by considering the nominees, not by whichever name they recognised most.

    But if you seriously tell me that ARC raiders is more innovative than for example a game where you yell into a microphone to activate your spells in a wizard Team Deatchmatch, I doubt your sincerity.

      I would hate a game where I have to yell into a mic and also a game including the word “extraction” is part of its description (ARC Raiders).

      I voted for the games I played and enjoyed like Dispatch and voted for games I haven’t played but would want to.

        Good thing that the award is not (or rather is not supposed to be) about you or me liking it but instead about INNOVATIVE gameplay. That’s exactly what I’m trying to explain.

          If a game is more innovative but people don’t want to play it more than another game that is considered by few to be less innovative but more playable then the one to win the award is going to be the less innovative, but more played game.

          Two cars with automatic transmission one with a manual choke vs a car with an automatic choke are both an innovation but the automatic one is going to win an award because more people are going to buy it.
