They went from, ‘That’s stupid. We’re not doing that," to “That’s stupid but okay,” so fucking fast.
“That’s stupid but okay” is a very valve thing.
I’ve played TF2.
Their view of “what? No that’s silly” struck me as very odd.
Because the team behind Deep Rock Galactic asked their community to start using it to show demand. And apparently they listened.
It was a fake “controversy” to draw sales and engagement.
I get it from their perspective, featuring dwarves in a game doesn’t really help others find similar games in the same vein. On the other hand, they have a tag for pirates and Black Flag differs quite a bit from puzzle pirates.
Lmao that happened so fast. Deep rock galactic and dwarf fortress teaming up really worked!
Steam gets free publicity (not that it’s really needed) and it all cost them was 5 letters.
OOTL: Can I get a summary?
they rejected the request of Deep Rock Galatic and Dwarf Fortress to add a dwarf tag, the two teamed up on a co marketing campaign to get the decision reversed, Steam acquiesced.
What next? A tag for elves? A tag for tieflings? What a slippery slope!
/s
As far as I’ve gathered Valve “accidentally” created the elf tag instead when the dwarf tag campaign happened. When someone noticed they went “oh, whoopsie, hehe” and added the dwarf tag too. So elf should also be a tag now.

How many dwarf games could there really be?
Is there an entire genre that I’m unaware of?
More than you would think…
The biggest two that pop into my head are Deep Rock Galactic, and Dwarf Fortress.
Both amazing games btw
