The Steam Awards: Buy The Winning Games At Huge Discounts While Sale Lasts

As 2016 came to a close, online gaming platform Steam announced its first-ever Steam Awards, as well as a list of 100 games that sold the most on its store during the year gone by. And if you want to buy any of these, we suggest you do it in the next few hours, before 1 p.m. EST specifically, which is when the Steam winter sale will end.

The awards themselves were given out in 12 different categories, and two games appeared twice in the list of winners. Most of them are available for a massive discount right now.
