Steam Award Freebies

Customary with the Steam Awards, all non-limited steam users were rewarded for voting in each category. Rewarded in what? Steam Cards! Sellable for Steam Credit on the community market or craftable into profile badges, these virtual cards were an entirely free incentive. While this has since come to a close, we expect the Steam Awards in 2022 to offer something similar. Don’t miss out!

Until Next Time,
