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 🤮

The Steam awards are a total joke. RDR, a game with zero content updates won labor of love. Starfield, a paint-by-number Bethesda RPG is most innovative. But it doesn’t matter because the awards don’t matter.

I believe Starfield at least was brigading to prove the point that the awards are silly at best at this point.

Did the job pretty well.

RDR is awesome, but yeah, the devs were probably crunched and were dying to finish it so they could rest lol.

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?

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

It made about as much sense as Starfield winning the most innovative gameplay…

Awards are decided by number of votes

People are idiots

Do the math
