Valve politely but firmly said &#8220;no,&#8221; so they took their quest to the people, asking players to tag games manually to show Valve &#8220;that we are very serious about the value a dwarf tag would bring to the platform.&#8221; And as one, those players cried, &#8220;You have my axe!&#8221;\u2014which is to say, they started adding the tag.<\/p>\n<p>Valve quickly took notice, and decided that an official store tag was indeed called for. Alas, there was a minor miscommunication somewhere.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KitfoxGames\/status\/1753167600836816941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1056px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:65.34%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Qn64Z5NZk5Zxer7LbWWK53\" name=\"dwarf1.png\" alt=\"They did what?!\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/steam-bullied-into-adding-a-dwarf-tag-by-the-short-king-tag-team-of-deep-rock-galactic-and-dwarf-fortress.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1056\" height=\"690\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Kitfox Games (Twitter))<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not long after, Valve got it figured out\u2014dwarves have beards, elves have an irritating air of condescension\u2014and pushed the right button.
