This year, for the first time ever, Valve is giving out Steam Awards. The whole thing is community-driven, with Steam users nominating games and even submitting their own award categories. As you’d expect, the Internet has taken its solemn duty very seriously. By which I mean the opposite of that.
Here are some of the best award nominations and categories I’ve come across:
