Valve has yet to reveal all the PC games that will be discounted during its Steam sale, but the company also announced yesterday that gamers will be invited every day from December 22nd to December 30th to vote for the Steam Awards. On December 22, nominees for “The Villain Most in Need of a Hug Award” include Borderlands, Portal 2 and more and winners for each of the 12 awards will be announced on New Year’s Eve.
