Hey, fellow gamers!

Brace yourselves for a wild ride through today's biggest gaming news!

The slower news stretch continues today, but we've got a couple gaming stories to discuss:

🏆 Valve announced the winners across genres for the yearly Steam Awards celebrating the most acclaimed games on the platform in 2023. Baldur’s Gate 3 unsurprisingly claimed Game of the Year based on fan votes for its monumental achievement. We recap and analyze the list.

📺 Twitch rolled out clarified policies cracking down on sexually suggestive streams that push boundaries without directly showing nudity. This targets the so-called "artistic nudity" and similar intentionally evocative content. We discuss Twitch's ongoing struggles around enforcement.

As a bonus, we're unlocking our Leveled Up plan for all subscribers for a limited time this January. Expect the full VIP treatment while the industry ramps back up from the holidays.
