They’re not the latest-and-greatest
Ten games took honors in 12 categories in the first-ever Steam Awards. Only two of them launched in 2016.
Valve announced the awards back in November during the Fall Steam Sale. All of the honors are fan-voted; Valve opened the promotion with eight categories, adding four last-minute categories that were voted on yesterday.
