Hard to choose a favorite Linux game porter, they are just all awesome!

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.

Didn't vote (yet?) in
* Best audio of a game released in 2016
* Best update released in 2016

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.

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

Not an easy vote! These are the best in each category already!

Darn, I forgot to apply EDuke32 for "favourite FOSS project". Well...

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?

Sorry about that, have adjusted it to only show that button on the one you 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.

;)

Came here to say just that... I don't think I can pick one. Guess I will have to skip voting on that one

You should have nominated it! Python is not a disqualification...
