Steam included a special note regarding the Best Developer category, where it was explained that, since it was a highly-contested category, the list of nominees was expanded to 10. Valve excluded itself from the running as well in a bid to honor the "other awesome developers." Not that Valve has truly released much this year aside from Artifact, but...you know.
Make sure you get your votes in before the polls close!
