Why is Steam so bad at tagging game genres?
https://vocaroo.com/1EzfSobb1iSf
the tags are either from users (retarded normiecattle) or the devs (have an agenda)

>>736406152didnt work, you're still a faggot
>>736406084uh one is bullet hell and the other is bullet heaven you stupid fucking s0i jack
Because Steam has no intelligent competitor, meaning they have no incentive to create a system that doesn't classify Counter Strike, Stellaris, and Worms Armageddon as the same genre.
I assume it's because Steam users are the ones tagging. And most of them are retarded.
>>736406254Steam removed the ability for users to popularly create tags for games due to "hate speech" many many years ago, so now users can only vote on tags which are recommended to the developers.
>>736406303How did "cute" and "funny" make it to the Pragmata tags, then? Is Capcom actually based?
you fags are just too pedantic about tagsgame about shooting things = shmup, end of story
Steam lets the devs tag their own games so of course they just put whatever their target audience wants to see>game about not dying (literally all of them)? survival
>>736406421>the survivor game in question that marks the genre "bullet heaven" in the landscape is currently in v0.982
>>736406363Their community manager is, at least.
>>736406393It impedes me from finding the kind of games I want to play.
>>736406084Those both belong in the same genre in the same way that doom and call of duty do. Which is to say that vidya genres are vague and no one cares how much that bothers you.
>>736406393(You)
>>736406084Another jakAnother slow night
>>736406084>too much shit on my screen yeah, they're the same
Kill yourself jaknigger.
>>736406635The fact that none replied to this is proof this thread only contains samefags lmao this shit is pathetic
What's pathetic is that you bumped this fucking shit thread you retard.
>>736406635>>736410259Same fag! Stay butt hurt, you cretin!
>>736406084If you communicate through wojacks, you're retarded.
>>736410442If you communicate through memes, you're retarded.
>>736410373Lol, lmao even
>>736410536>>736410643NIGGA DOXED HIMSELF KEK
>Genre: adventure>List of every game ever made
My problem with this, is that because I own Cyberpunk 2077, steam thinks it fitting to flood my recommended for you/Discovery queue with overt porn games despite having zero interest in and blocking them as they come up.
>>736406084The tag system of all its competitors is 100 times worse, they'd probably slap all of these games together with FPS as shootersIt's not even that hard to make a better tag system but for some unfathomable reason no one seems capable to
>>736406393Doom is a shmup?
They are pretty accurate if you ask me
>>736406084users are such dumb fucking cunts. The user tags are unusably bad.
touhoutrannies really need to fuck off
>>736410862You can disable porn in options, but steam is racists and thinks stellar blade is in the same category as some full frontal nudity weg where the trailer starts with closeup of a dick.
>>736406393holy fucking based
whatever you do, do not check the immersive sim category
>>736406126based
>>736413383Alright, this one's funny
>>736406084Nobody actually wants to play bullet hell games that aren’t called Toho, and if you do you obviously care about them enough to know about new releases without the help of fucking Steam tags
>>736406084steam is terrible at discovery and it's 100% intentional>want to look for star fox-like games>there's no tag for it>related games shows AAA garbage and games of a different genre>need to resort to lists posted on other sites to find actual related games (i.e. 3d on-rails shooters with ships and aiming reticules, defeated enemy counter, branching paths in missions, smart bombs, etc.)even sites like steamdb do a way better job at it
>any game with a perk system gets tagged as RPG
>>736414231I remember when there was a "deep dive" ""experiment" in steam labs. You could select games from your library, and it would pick similar games to the ones youve chosen. Found several games I enjoyed from it some years ago, but since then theyve canceled the thing.
>>736414231PS Store is bad at discovering new games as well.
>>736406421Out of genuine curiosity, what should this tag be for? Crafting survival games? Survival horror? Wave shooters? Outdoor camping games? I'm not throwing shade, I really want to know. Should it be changed to "Survivalist"?
>>736414693NTA, but for me, "survival" says "there are bars that deplete on their own and you need to take care of", like sleep or hunger.
>>73640612617s in I hear a non american accent.
>>736415341A non American stole, raped, and left in the dumpster YOUR thread, and you won't do anything about it.
