Round of applause
Most end-of-year awards focus on highlighting the best of that calendar year. That’s not exclusive to games. Grammy’s, Oscar’s, MTV Music Awards — they’re all shows that are meant to celebrate entertainment that released in the past 12 months.
Not the Steam Awards, though. Those are a free-for-all of some of the most popular Steam games ever, many of which are still the most often played on a daily basis. As a result, only 4 of the 13 winners released in 2017, which, whatever — it’s not like these awards or any awards mean much anyway.
Here are the winners of the 2017 Steam Awards:
- Choices Matter —The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Mom’s Spaghetti —PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
- Labor of Love —Warframe
- Suspension of Disbelief —Rocket League
- The World Is Grim Enough Let’s Just All Get Along — Stardew Valley
