Valve Announces Winners for the First Steam Awards
//cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/1369/1369053.jpg
Only two of the winners released in 2016.
During the Autumn Sale, Valve added the ability for users to nominate games for a series of awards - and that ability extended to every game in Valve's catalog - for its inaugural Steam Awards. These aren't typical end of year awards, and not just because the choices weren't limited to 2016 releases. Instead of "Game of the Year" and "Best RPG," the Steam Awards use categories like "Villain in Most Need of a Hug" and "Best Use of a Farm Animal."
Between December 22 and December 29, a single category opened up for voting, with each only accepting votes for 24 hours. You may notice that there is no "Game in Most Need of a Sequel" category. Cough. Moving on...
