Here Are The Winners Of The First Ever Steam Awards

Valve's first ever Steam Awards runs from December 22 to January 2. The winners, which were voted on by users, were announced last night. Rather than looking at 2016's best games, the Steam Awards encompasses games from the last several years.

Our Take
The winners of the Steam Awards were picked by the community, but it's still strange to see some of Valve's own games on there. What I find even stranger is that most of these aren't new releases, but I suppose this is a way to highlight some of the better titles that Steam has to offer. Still, nothing really stands out much here. The categories are pretty amusing, at least.
