>steam adds a cult tag>gets rid of nsfw and blood tagsWhat did they mean by this?https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/673994309884707518
>>739143159at least they left cute and funny
I don't care about the logic involved. I hate change and people who change things I am used to should die.
>>739143159>For example, both the "NSFW" tag and the "Mature" tag have a very high degree of overlap with more descriptive tags such as "Gore", "Violent", and "Sexual Content".THEY LITERALLY EXPLAINED WHY RIGHT THERE YOU MASSIVE CUNT
>america removedlmao based
>>739143980>Wuxia added
New tags>Bullet Heaven, Desktop Companion, Organizing, Cleaning, Decorating, Wuxia, Xianxia, Falling Blocks, Espionage, Samurai, Zoo, Wolves, Capybaras, Animals, Cult, Poker, Language LearningRemoved tags>3D Vision, Ambient, America, Blood, Crowdfunded, Cult Classic, Documentary, Drama, Dungeons & Dragons, Electronic, Experience, Feature Film, Foreign, GameMaker, Games Workshop, Illuminati, Kickstarter, LEGO, Masterpiece, Mature, Movie, Narration, NSFW, Roguevania, RPGMaker, Warhammer 40K, Web Publishing, Well-WrittenThey're going to go after mature and gore eventually.
>>739145236Where's Furry tag?
>>739143880do you seriously expect epic's jamboys to read before shitposting?just look at >>739145236
>>739145236>New tags>Capybaras
>>739145570It's so that you can filter out any games that have said meme animals in them
>>739145303I suppose you can use the Animals tag now instead of relying on shitty Reviewer groups. Probably done that way to avoid the fetishistic implications>>739145236The real question is, why remove Warhammer/GW tags? I get wanting to avoid mentioning specific IPs, but it's a big enough category to get it's own sale events (including Skulls which is this week?). LEGO is the same, but at least that all comes from one publisher - 40k is all over the place. Just seems odd
>>739145236>They're going to go after mature and gore eventually.Only if too many government officials start crying about muh children.Gaben likes money. Those "Hentai Furry Tits Puzzle" games make lots of money for Valve.
>>739145236>Removed tags>Games Workshop>Warhammer 40KWhat did GW do now?
>>739145236>Wuxia, Xianxiawhat's that?
>>739146560I think it might to be avoid some legal stuff since they also removed LEGO and Dungeons & Dragons. I'd bet those companies don't want some random indie games be tagged with their names.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WUXIA AND XIANXIA
>>739145236rpgmaker bros.......
>>739146707Chinese martial/fantasy genres respectively
>these are still incoombros we're good
>>739145236what is a bullet heaven? Don't tell me is an euphemism for danmaku/bullet hell/rain of bullets
>>739146819>>739146707One specifically focuses on martial arts
>>739147017Vampire Survivors games
>>739146819Campy 80s kung fu and kung fu with beamspam. I think wuxia is the former.
When will they add a weg tag so I can filter it out and browse real visual novels without gweilo shovelware?
>>739145236>Wuxia>XianxiaYoung masters, it's finally OUR time
>>739147041>you shoot tons of bullets to hordes of enemiesah, I get it now.
>bullet heavenOh cool I love bullet heav->it's description is just shitty survivors crap and not the genre that's been a thing for decades
>RPGMaker tag removedsad, I get they want to divorce tags from official branding, but it's such a specific ecosystem
>>739145236>Capybaras
>>739143159It's steam. They need to make changes for the sake of changes to justify their salary.
>>739147472Everybody sane does that on VNDB
>>739147919Yeah this is my one issueRpgmaker isnt just a game engine but an actual genre in itelf
>>739145236>NSFWExcellent. While banning NSFW (anime only) games. What having no decent competition does...
>>739146718spot onbest IP is well defended IP
>>739144570>can instantly filter actual garbagebased gabe
>>739147014"Cute" and "funny" are still there for nobetalikes, very important
>>739143252here i was thinking they'd do something about the "cute and funny" dog whistle but then i saw pic relatedfirst capcom and now even valvei feel like dark helmet when he's like "i'm surrounded by assholes" but replace "assholes" with "pedofiles"
>>739147873>confusing it with bullet hellngmi
>>739145236Why would they remove Crowdfunded when it is neither subjective, overlapping, nor an IP?
>>739146390The bigger issue is removing GameMaker/RPGMaker. Their excuse is "The franchises organize their own collections" but people mostly use those tags so you can search for JRPGs without getting flooded by low quality fangames.
>>739149041Probably because it isn't relevant to the game.
>>739149169I'm just being pedantic here but neither does Indie
>>739149110Yeah it just wouldn't do to look up RPGMaker and find low quality slop, huhJust kidding yeah that sucks
>>739149359I can agree with that. I was mostly trying to come up with a reason and that was the only one that fit to me.Indie, Corpo, and Crowdfunded should all be considered valid.
>>739143159My entire feed is "Blood" games because I played that one friendslop game about mopping up blood once so this is a good change
>>739149110Bump to shine a spotlight on Valve for this, seeing the removal of the RPGMaker tag along with them adding a capybara one just furthered my suspicion Valve is run by redditors. Have some Dirge.>>739145740This does make sense.KV6GH-6NJ68-YZ22X283AP-PWCVV-9IQ2Y2A4Q8-55HYA-9YQQTH6RA6-KEVD9-YC7V4GF6Y7-YHZ40-RIRTJD9TNN-N2B37-2EB6GVV2Z2-R9WEN-GBB3RJIY8W-PI8R3-J8BQRNJ7IT-DF2NP-L9QJTAZ4YK-53G6A-693ZMP437B-3YAHC-WZ6FJ2FRG5-E2VDH-57MGFLQJR4-PVJ9D-WJ2KI4F3NA-KQNEX-0TQ0WPXAE9-5BZLI-ZDHBJ
>>739143159But how will I know what games are safe to play at work now?
>>739151068this nigga thinks he's hello charlottethanks for the code but your game looks like shit
>>739145236>Wuxia, Xianxia, Falling Blocks, Espionage, Samurai, Zoo, Wolves, Capybaras, Animals, CultI love this collection of words it soothes the soul
>>739151401In what way? To either or both of those things.
>>739146707new genders
STEAM JUST BANNED EVERY GAME RATED OVER E HOLY SHIT ALL MY GAMES ARE GONE
>>739153375AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH ACK ACK ACK
>>739153537I just switched to GOG over that. I just purchased Pragmata from them so I could truly own it.
>>739151068Thanks for the game, boss.>>739145303Dis, but I guess the Animals tag will have to do. Even an Anthro tag would be nice.
>>739153702That's Carnal Instinct. They're ruining classification.
>New tags>Wuxia - Historical fantasy adventure featuring martial arts, competing sects, and inner qi>Xianxia - Fantasy adventure focused on cultivating supernatural powers and strengthHell yeah.
>incremental gamesThere's no such thing, why are they trying to mandela effect clicker games?
>>739145236are you kidding me? I used the Warhammer 40K tag to filter everything from that garbage franchisealso post you're tags
>>739145236>Still no AIslop tag
>>739153829Why not just make one tag for both like Chingchongpingpong?
>>739153952Because it needs an importance distinction for the game genres.It's like fantasy vs sci-fi.
>>739151068D9TNN taken, thanks devanon
>>739153939This is all I have for now.
>>739151401>>739152687noticing
>>739145236>capybarasThere cannot be that many games featuring these fucking things to justify a tag. Only one I can think of is Age of Empires III.
>>739153952Because the majority of steam users are chink now so they get priority and favoritism.
>>739143159I dont know but i can tell you the tags are getting worse every year, they are becoming useless because of memes and raids. I had this idea of grouping tags, because for example right now there is no way to filter out Amnesia inspired horror without filtering out resident evil inspired horror games, even tho both are horror. Same thing happens with multiplayer, i dont wanna search for all those open world crafting multiplayer games, but i dont mind single player open world games with crafting mechanics, you cant filter one without the other. Then there is stuff like the memes like Dark Souls tags
>>739146819One is supernatural and typically ends up with a kung fu battle against the Heavenly Court, the other is more grounded.
>>739143159>they added "wuxia" and "xianxia"Not quite a "chinese" tag, but I'll take it. My blacklist just evolved.
>>739145236>Bullet Heaven>Capybarasyay more reddit tags
>>739151068>KV6GH-6NJ68-YZ22XTaken, cheers.
>>739151068>AZ4YK-53G6A-693ZMSorry about that, anon. Thanks for the drop though.
>>739146560Actual gw games can appear in collects. If it's a tag anyone can try and apply it to any game.>>739149041Probably doesn't measure or drive player interest. My opinion on Hollow Knight aren't moved an iota because it was or wasn't crowdfunded.
>>739145570I blame reddit and smooth brains for the popularity of that rodent
>>739153938im sorry to tell you this but youre out of the loop
>>739145570I like capybaras and I still will be filtering this tag
>>739149041It hurt sales. Sales make Valve money.
>>739151068>AZ4YK-53G6A-693ZMbased
>>739148915It was used for other things before VS, mostly smhup-y games where you can't shoot, and have to dodge and have the crossfire kill enemies. Calling VS bullet heaven is like calling Zelda 1 bullet heaven
>>739144570>differentiating between wuxia and xianxia
>>739145236>+ Capybaras>- RPGMakeryou cannot be fucking serious
>>739143159you're telling me people actually use tags?
>Detailed post explaining why they are making the changes>Stupid fucking faggots still coming up with conspiracy theoriesYou all deserve to die
>>739159572slowly the rest of the world is being introduced to the crpgs (chinese rpgs) mandate of heaven begins.
Do all Capybara Games's games get the Capybara tag just because of their intro logo?
>>739145236how will /pol/tards spin this into making steam out to be anti-american
>>739145236I'd be bitching but Bullet Heaven is genuinely different from Bullet Hell and I'm glad there's finally a tag for it
>>739159623It's mostly back end stuff pree sure. >you played game with [tag1]>games with [tag1] start appearing on your store page.Though it does sound like some anons get stuck into actively filtering stuff out.
>>739159697I love poorly translated crap!
>>739159970I swear someone should form a decent translation studio and make a killing translating these games.
>>739158571Reddit derangement syndrome
>>739143880TPBP.You still have "Sexual Content" there is no need for the NSFW tag at that point.
>>739143159>https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/673994309884707518So basically they changed a bunch of tags just to make the NSFW porn games visible to people who don't want to see them
>>739160236Sexual content could be Grand Theft Auto and then it will be grouped with some mentally ill tranny visual novel
>>739143159WHAT THE FUCKGIVE ME BACK THE RPGMAKER TAGI NEED THAT TO FILTER OUT THOUSANDS OF ACTUAL NEGATIVE VALUE TRASH
>>739160069>number one courtesan
>>739160315And NSFW would make some kind of distinction between that how...?
>>739160069Chinese games will never be popular until they start including proper lolis. But when they do....
>>739147017It's the opposite of bullet hell (literally)
>>739160484NSFW contains all the perverts and weirdos so us normal people don't have to see their porn games
>>739160572So what? Where you are trying to run into the boolets and have a fuckhueg hitbox that is larger than the sprite?
>>739160335You will suffer, bruh.
>>739143159Valve is being run like a Discord server, and that added list is a total pisstake.>>739159787They have some wiggle room to work with since the article conspicuously neglected to explain that one.
>>739145236What's wrong with Crowdfunded? It's a good tag for finding out who had the balls to go through the hell that is Kickstarter/etc....What the hell is wrong with RPGMaker? RPGMaker games, 9 times out of 10, have a distinctive style that some people just cannot stomach or otherwise have to be in the right mood for.
>>739160786>t. nongamer
>>739160786Because some people might exclude games based on both of those tags. Now you just *don't know* so you might accidentally buy them.
>>739143159Steam has been really going downhill these few years... what alternatives should I switch to?
>>739160708Based Felvidek enjoyer
>>739160692No the other opposite That's the transversal
>>739160692That's the ikaruga/giga wing/psyvariar etc type of game
Valve is BASED and can do NO WRONGKeep seething, Epic cucks!
Now Rajesh resorts to false flagging
>>739160286>So basicallyWhy do lies always start like this?
>>739161894That's what happened though and yes I read the whole post.
>>739148591I think trying to do something about the tag combo is just going to bring drama from people noticing more but the 2 tags are each on their own to good to get rid of
>>739145236>Still no raising Sims tag as more get made and more old ones get added to steam
>stated they were removed because of overlap>and obviously because there's a much more obvious banner disclaimer when a game is a porn game so it's redundant anyway>"It's a conspiracy"Read, nigga. Read.
>>739148591I saw a completely uncensored furry shota hentai game on steamlike the game was fully intact no patch requiredsteam definitely has someone into it whos working there
>still no tag for insect gamesFUUUUUUUUUU
>>739162887Did you read that there's still the sexual content tag and nsfw is redundant with it?
>>739143159I have been adding cult to every woke tranny game.
>>739145236>added Capybaras>removed DramaWasn't the year of the capybara a decade ago?Isn't Drama a genre? They could just blacklist it from games, y'know moderate their webstore, if people are abusing tags to refer to internet arguments.>>739153939Huh, that is a good listI wish I could add more than 10>>739149110It's really bad out there.>>739151068>just furthered my suspicion Valve is run by redditors.You mean the company that says they make fun games but don't have an artistic bone in their body and didn't understand what UX is until making a webclient?You mean the company that obsesses over things like character silhouettes and readability, but then adds 100 hats and weapons and the characters weren't particularly readable in the first place?You mean the company that focuses entirely on good programming, like procedural moss growth, whilst having completely unmaintained code that confuses anyone who reads it, and that they can't code a colored circle?You mean the company that made most of its characters diverse before 2008 happened despite being all white and male in the office?You mean the company that put a unicorn and rainbows into a boy's FPS game?That company?Naah.>>739154232They should just have a different webstore for them. A lot of games now have an entirely different install for China. Everyone would be happy with it.
>>739163491Did you consider that sexual content and NSFW mean different things to most people?Sexual content means just that, but this can be tastefully done or not the focus of the game. NSFW means it's essentially porn.
>>739164003There's still the "Nudity" tag.
>>739164003Yes exactly
>>739143159i thought the tags were created by the users
>>739143159>>739143880>>739145236>removed pointlessly overlapping tags and random franchises Sounds reasonable enough
>>739147063>wuxiadragonball>xianxa dragonball z

What the fuck do I use for rpgmaker shit now
>>739146819Wuxia: Guys with swords and fists who have stamina meters to do super moves and shoryukens on eachotherXianxia: Guys with magical artifacts who have mana meters to spell spam eachother
>>739166653DLsite, same as before.
>>739166982That only works for porn
>>739167530They have an entire side of the site for SFW stuff.
>>739145236Who ever made this change clearly posts on reddit.
>>739145570https://store.steampowered.com/app/1447820/The_Girl_from_Arkanya/
>>739159787Steam makes jews seethe due to being a private company that at least attempts to offer a marginally less shit service than others in some ways (even if it's not the best at it), therefore it is anti-american by default
>>739168545
>>739163308It's simply because it's a toss up between Mary auto-refusing your game for being anime, or porn, or getting some other guy who just doesn't give a shit.
>>739148591>i was thinking they'd do something about the "cute and funny" dog whistlego back

>>739143880Everyone complaining is the average pirat nation dick sucker, what were you expecting?
>>739143159>>739143880That actually makes sense. What's the point of the NSFW tag if it's unclear whether it's for sexual content or gore?
>>739143159They say what they meant? NSFW is broad, Gore/Sexual content is specific.
>>739145236That's fucking retarded
So many shartoid subhumans in these threads
>>739154231they are being added to more games recently
>>739172235redditsong should be filtered

sorry dude, we removed NSFW because it's a bit redu- HOLY FUCK A HECKIN CHUNGUS CAPPY WAPPY!? WE NEED A TAG FOR THAT oh and animals too
>>739175136It's more drama to remove, it's really only the combination of the 2 tags that are an issue and making them mutually exclusive would just highlight the matter more, but both tags are too useful on their own to get rid of either
>>739145570Im gonna wipe my ass with baras in a minute.
>>739143159It's so you can tag the horrible controller and deck
>>739143159I'm still trying to force the tag Male Protagonist, but I need help!
>>739163904>Isn't Drama a genre?I don't think it would apply to games really.
>>739163904Yeah, that company, the one who banned my Steam profile due to me dominating someone in TF2 and the player sending the footage to Valve with said ban also restricting your Steamworks developer access as well. I was told to make another Steam account to bypass this (it was an error but in a separate support ticket they claimed my loss of access was deserved). Can see these plebbitors celebrating me being banned by the employee Kal. https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/1etcepq/tf2_player_got_community_banned_for_being_toxic/>>739175059I'm quite proud of my peanus wenus, why would I care to be a femoid?
To be fair you don't need the RPG Maker label; every single game made in it has the same GUI so a screenshot is enough.
>>739148591curry?
>>739145236>>They're going to go after mature and gore eventually.nah Steam says>For example, both the "NSFW" tag and the "Mature" tag have a very high degree of overlap with more descriptive tags such as "Gore", "Violent", and "Sexual Content".

>>739143159I thought everyone can add tags?>cultWho decides
>capybaras*holds up spork*
>>739178395Notice how you didn't post anything from the blog, that's because there are no explanations for most of the tag removals / additions and people are left guessing. You didn't read shit, puetro rican.
>>739178571Which one are you confused by?
>>739143159
>>739168545>Early Access.How about you actually finish the game before you put it up for sale?
I don't use the Steam filters; I don't use the Steam store to look for games to play.
>>739176575You'd probably have better luck with No Protagonist (i.e. stuff like Tetris where there aren't characters at all), and then you could filter that, silent, and female protagonist, to get (mostly) male protagonists.
