The Steam Awards 2019 voting period, and therefore their Winter Sale, is now open, Epic Games just started their 12 Days of Free Games, and Nintendo just launched their Festive Offers 2019 sale!

The Steam Awards and Winter Sale 2019
Everyone had their chance to nominate a game from 2019 on Steam last week for each following category: Game of the Year, VR Game of the Year, Labor of Love, Better With Friends, Most Innovative Gameplay, Outstanding Story-Rich Game, Best Game You Suck At, and Outstanding Visual Style.
Valve has tallied up all of those nominations and revealed the final 5 nominees for each category for you to choose from. Vote now until December 31st, 2019, the day the winners will be announced. I’m happy to see that Planet Zoo and Baba is You are among the nominees for Most Innovative Gameplay, and GRIS and Astroneer for Outstanding Visual Style! The Steam Winter Sale 2019 will also be starting very soon and will last 14 days.
