[h1]The Steam Awards are Here![/h1] The Steam Awards are here! It's no secret that this year has been stacked with incredible games like Zelda, Spider-Man, Baldur's Gate, and more. In fact, if you're an indie game developer thinking of submitting for an award, you should probably think again because you've got no shot. But fortunately none of those games are multiplayer which means they can't win the [b]Better with Friends[/b] category!

But because of that, you don't have any other games to submit for the category and this one has as a crab in a speedo so why not? [*]You hate the other games in the category more than this one. [*]You're hoping the extra visibility results in a billion sales so I can create beefier content updates. [*]You're hoping the extra visibility results in a lot of [i]adult[/i] artists finding the game. [*]You love this game and want to see it get enough reviews to be eligible for [b]Overwhelmingly Positive[/b]. [*]You hate this game, and you're hoping the increased visibility lowers my review score. [*]You are hoping that if any of the game characters become real they will see what you did for them and think you're a pretty cool guy/gal. [*]Your friend has a different favorite game and you don't want to vote for it. [*]You want to vote for the dinkiest Steam game you can, so if it wins bigger developers with actual budgets will be incentivized to make multiplayer games.

[i]But what will you do with the power of winning an online popularity contest? Why do you even want to win this?[/i] And that's a good question. That's a lot of power for just one random indie developer to have. There are many on paper reasons why a developer like myself would covet this kind of thing. The free visibility for example, or the feeling of accomplishment that only winning an online popularity poll can bring. But the real reason I want to win this is because I want to gloat. Of course, that's not the [b]only[/b] reason but it IS like, 90% of my motivation. It's no secret that the Steam Awards mostly get won by AAA games and the occasional mega-indie hit. But we have something those games don't. We're [b]way hotter[/b]. I've done a great deal of scientific analysis and come to the conclusion that 95% of Doomsday Paradise players are hot bisexual women, and the other 5% are hot people of every other orientation. If you were to distill "hotness" into a 1-10 scale, the average person would be a 5 and the average Steam gamer would also be a 5 because gamers either have beautiful souls or are like crazy racist and it balances out. But the average Doomsday Paradise player is a [color=red]R[/color][color=orange]A[/color][color=yellow]I[/color][color=lawngreen ]N[/color][color=cornflowerblue ]B[/color][color=aqua]O[/color][color=blueviolet ]W[/color] out of 10. I've been emailing Valve that our votes should count more because as we all know pretty people's opinions are more important, but I don't think they've seen my messages yet. By winning the Steam Awards, we can draw attention to this bug in the system and ensure that our opinions are correctly weighted at the 100:1 strength they should be.
