Voted in every category save for Most Promising Early Access Game, on account of me not touching early access games with a 10 foot pole. So many great games to choose from in each category. Hopefully 2017 is an even better year.

I'd be interested in voting numbers per category in the end!I could add that in now, but I want to make sure people are okay with it. I can't see it swaying any votes or anything, so it should be okay?

Just to make sure: I was thinking of "How many people voted in this category?", not "How many people voted for a certain game?" The later one for sure could influence, I wouldn't like that.

Of course, I knew what you meant. Just a simple counter for how many votes in each category.I'd be interested in voting numbers per category in the end!I could add that in now, but I want to make sure people are okay with it. I can't see it swaying any votes or anything, so it should be okay?

Submitting was a lot easier than actually voting. The pain!

Surprisingly, the hardest part for me was all the games I haven't played. Or heard of.

This gets harder and harder to do each year. Spoilt for choice!

I get a "remove vote" button for every game in a category I already voted in.
So there is no way to look up what I actaually voted for?

Theoretically, I might just have remembered - but not in my age! ;)

I won't tell you what my most anticipated game of 2017 is (it's a secret), but I will tell you it wasn't two games I so eagerly anticipated in 2016: Homefront and Shadow Warrior 2. Darksiders taught me that once a game fails to materialize on (or even around) it's stated release date, I best cease to anticipate it.
Quite a few nominees were new to me, but a little duckduckgoing quickly remedied that. I'm particularly keen to try out The Dark Mod. I'd never heard of that one before.
I was a bit saddened that my favorite gaming related FOSS project --- sc-controller --- wasn't a nominee, though I suppose that's because it's written in Python. Ah well, we all have our favorite shouda-rans, I'm sure.
