There’s no particular prize for games that win a Steam Award, so don’t expect any of the winners to receive an extended sale any time soon. In fact, some of the game’s winners are still on sale for the Steam Winter Sale. But either way, the awards go to show that PC gamers have particularly high standards , with players often voting for indie games over major AAA titles.
