Hogwarts Legacy is a great game, but it doesn’t play as well on Steam Deck as many other incredible titles do. I’m not sure why it was picked for that.

This whole list is full of questionable choices imo.

Since (I think?) these are community awards, they are just hype/marketing indicators. Average voter sees the most commonly known title and goes clickclickclick. I'm not even sure if they only allowed SD users to vote for it or it's just random people voting
