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?

[–] Willie@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
