00:00It's time for the 2026 Steam Awards, and this year is different, because this year we're celebrating 10 years of
00:08Steam Awards, 10 years of celebrating your favorite games through your nominations and votes.
00:13So this year, this award is even more special. Guys, that's not the right award. Nope, that's not it. Oh,
00:21come on. Try again. You know what? Guys, come on. These are major awards.
00:26Okay, you know what? I'm going to give you guys a minute to get your sh** together while we share
00:30some more of the exciting news.
00:31We're folding in some old favorites of categories from years past, like Just Five More Minutes for games you just
00:38can't quit, Defy's Description for games you love but can't quite explain,
00:42a new category for this year inspired by old ones called This Is My Job Now for games that are,
00:47you know, your job now, and a Hall of Fame of the Hall of Fame,
00:51forcing you to choose your favorite of all the past Game of the Year award winners. It's like picking your
00:56favorite child. So, you know, good luck.
00:58All right, let's see if my co-workers got their act together and, I mean, close, I guess.
01:04Okay, I'm sorry. Did you guys lose the Steam Award?
01:07Yeah.
01:07Did one of you take it?
01:09No.
01:09All right, listen, I don't care which one of you took it, but I expect to see it back here
01:13on this table by 10 a.m. tomorrow or else. Got it?
