Here are the nominees for The Steam Awards 2018

Valve has announced the nominees for this year's Steam Awards, and voting will be open from December 20 to January 3, with the winners being revealed in February.

The categories include, among other things, Game of the Year, Labor of Love, Better with Friends, Most Fun with a Machine (where strangely enough Nier: Automata is nominated), and Best Developer, which was such a contested category Valve had to expand it to 10 nominees, and then subsequently removed themselves from the final tally, because they want this to be about other developers.
