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!

I'd never support a tag for pointy eared leaf lovers that's going to far

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.

We can do without any tags for those damned knife-ears

A tag for those filthy far-realmers? Where does it end?
