The Winners of the third annual Steam Awards have been revealed by Valve over on the Steam blog.ย 

Each year Valve Corp. hosts a community vote on the best game of the year on the ubiquitous PC game store. In addition to choosing the game of the year, Steam users get to vote on a series of ever-evolving other categories. This yearโ€™s list of categories includes, Game of the Year, VR Game of the Year, Labor of Love, Better With Friends, Most Innovative Gameplay, Outstanding Story-Rich Game of the Year, Best Game You Suck At, and finally Outstanding Visual Style.

Most of this yearโ€™s categories are fairly self-explanatory with the exception of Labor of Love which is the Steam Awards category for what is sometimes called Live Games or Service Games. Games that werenโ€™t released this year but never-the-less were still being played a lot this year because their developers were continuously adding content throughout the year.ย ย
