Stardew Valley fans are pushing for it to win since it has no chance in any other category . <| sep |> Good post , but I offer up a few things to consider , and please just take my comments for what they ' re worth , just one dude ' s opinion . I think some of the past and current content creators have brought a lot of toxic players to the game in the way they play and interact with other people while streaming . In turn , they run into a lot of people acting like them or trying to surpass their levels of toxicity , aggressiveness , etc . A lot of ' edgy ' streamers have streamed this game as their method of obtaining viewers there are many other ways , but toxicity overreaction seems to play over well wviewers and younger age groups who don ' t have full control of their behavior and they show their viewers that being a toxic , abusive and nasty personality is the way to communicate and interact in the game and ' well , that ' s Rust ' and usually many other games . Rust is open world , it ' s what the game community makes of it , or wants it to be . People will kill , KOS , trap and raid , it ' s kind of expected and in that case ' Just Rust ', however what is not ' just rust ' is the nonstop trolling , verbal abuse , harassment , bullying and other abuses which go beyond the game content and normally acceptable social interactivity and is at or near sociopathic levels in some cases . If content creators want to reduce the toxicity in the game , then they need to set the example first and foremost and encourage others to do the same . They can do this by showing good behavior in real time on their streams and admonishing poor behavior when it ' s seen in game , without being a hypocrite of course . Not everyone will be on board though , some thrive and make a living from that kind of behavior , the kids love it ! It took a long time to get like this . It ' s nice to see some efforts towards improving the community , but it ' s going to take a lot of positive efforts steadily over a long time to change it .
