Notes on Best Developer category:
"Best Developer” proved to be a highly-contested category with a lot of close calls among the top nominees. As a result, we expanded the set of nominees to 10. In addition, we’ve excluded ourselves from this category. We appreciate the love you’ve shown us, but we want to honor the other awesome developers on Steam, so we have excluded Valve from the final tally.

that's sad, Steam lacks good quality games so they had to include a broken yet popular game from 2017

Wow, Kingdom Come and Hitman 2 actually made it to GOTY nomination. I expect MHW will take that since it sold so much, but cool nonetheless.

Bethesda as best dev is an out of season april's fools joke surely

Steam does not lack quality games, but it lacks Sony exclusives and that one Rockstar game...thems the breaks.

The nominees were voted for by the users. It's also not exclusive to any year, you can vote for Deus Ex if you want. In the case of PUBG I'm guessing the Chinese following that game has played a part in it.

Yeah, I've seen plenty of people that were choosing them as a meme.
