WTF? Valve are you serious?

They're careful. They probably don't want a tag, about which articles will be made, saying "valve evil they make fun of dwarfism"

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At that point, make it 'dwarves' so its clear its about the fantasy race, rather than making fun of dwarfs.

You think the people that write and read clickbait headline care?

[–] dbaner@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I think the way tags work is that steam shows the most commonly used tags. But you can still add your own. If enough people add a dwarf tag then eventually it'll start appearing as an option for other people.

Valve knows that making a story about it will drive more sales.
