I hadn't even heard of most of the games up for vote, let alone actually played them, so I just randomly picked cool-looking banners or names. I think a lot of people are like me and just picked the couple games they'd actually heard of before.
Then why vote at all?
To get the rewards Steam handed out for it. This year they gave out 11 chat stickers, one for each one you voted on.
why did you do that?
Because Steam gave out 11 exclusive stickers for voting on the different categories. It's not a good idea to give out incentives to get people to vote for something because they'll do it for the reward without having any idea what they're voting for.
