They went from, ‘That’s stupid. We're not doing that," to "That’s stupid but okay," so fucking fast.
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.
Alright, I'll ask the obvious follow-up question: do they have a tag for ninjas?
Of course not. The search result would always be empty.
Potato salad...
Banana bread...
At work? Banana bread at work dawg?! HELL YEAH DAWG, HELL YEAH.
They have one for dragons: https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Dragon
We need more games where you play as a dragon.
Spyro and Cave of Dreams are the only that come to mind. Probably a lot more of you include things like dragonkin, kobalds, etc.
Wouldn't a ninja tag technically say more about a game than a dwarf tag though, since a Ninja is a profession, meanwhile dwarfs are just short creatures fond of drink and industry?
Is there a Human tag on steam?
Dwarves' profession is intrinsic.
Alcoholics?
Diggers
Alcoholic craftsmen
