After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your help (www.gamesradar.com)

Aren't there community tags for situations like these?

I think the problem is that they don't get awards even tho they are very good game and really amazing devs who love their games and playerbase. Last year read dead redemption won labour of love in the same category as drg was in 🤮

Yeah steam awards were a joke but what does it have to do with a dwarf tag? Do they also want a dwarf category in steam awards?

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 11 points 9 months ago

Isn't Steam awards are voted by users? So if anything, should the users (or rather, troll voters) be blamed?

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

Certainly trolls deserve quite a bit of the blame. But Steam is also to blame for allowing people to vote on games they've never even played before, and allowing games that haven't been updated in over a year to be eligible for labor of love. When 5 games someone doesn't own are the options, it just becomes a contest of which game is best known.

It's why Pizza Pizza has a history of being voted as Toronto's best pizza chain despite selling cardboard with red paint on it as food

[-] LapGoat@pawb.social 5 points 9 months ago

I mean by the nature of more popular games getting more votes, its just how this system will always play out.
