This year’s Steam Awards were mostly won by a bunch of old games

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
• No Apologies — The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
• Defies Description — Garry’s Mod
• Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War — Just Cause 3
• Haunts My Dreams — Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Soul of Vitruvius — Rise of the Tomb Raider
• Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0 — The Evil Within 2
  
• Best Soundtrack — Cuphead
• Even Better Than I Expected — Cuphead
