Honestly after watching "Indy Game: The Movie" recently i feel for the guy he was obviously cracking under the pressure of the worst parts of the gaming community
I was the one who added the "play NFL Blitz instead" tag.
how dare you
What else did you want me to put? Mutant League Football? Blitz: the League? That bastardized EA NFL Blitz without the late hits?

"multiplayer online battle arena" could describe so many games. i don't begrudge riot's marketing dept for trying to shift people away from calling everything a "dota clone" but i wish they would have come up with something better.
valve thinks the genre name is stupid too.
which game that you like got the bad game tag?

Yeah, this is pretty stupid. I like the intent, but they would have been wise to have their own database of tags instead of it being a free-for-all. It's not going to be self-policing, not with the some of the more unsavory hordes out there. You know some group is going to use it to pick on the developer of whatever indie game developer they don't like by using some hate speech of some kind, and that just isn't cool.

Your sarcasm is unnecessary. It's a problem, and Valve should have fixed it a long time ago. I shouldn't have to research 3rd party applications for organizing my games. What they have in place now is embarrassing.
Also, some have basically said "well the PS3/360 is no better", which I agree with, but it doesn't affect me because I buy mostly physical for consoles, organization is done on my shelf. I have 110+ games on Steam and I want to arrange them in certain categories, which is a nightmare currently. I would expect the all digital ecosystem of Steam to be better about organizing a massive collection than the consoles are.
Nope, just that Steam sucks at it.
I mean, yeah, that's what I'm doing. Waiting (an incredibly long time) for them to add this pretty basic and oft requested feature.
Of course, I had to check EVE Online, and there it was: "Sociopathy Simulator" and "Fuck Goons".
Tagged a few games as "Crossover", and fortunately wasn't the only one, since that's relevant to my interests, and while I was at it, tagged Streets of Rage 2 with "Gentleman in distress" - I wonder how many more of those are there?...

No shit, all Valve is doing is constantly adding stuff that no one asks for (like these tags, which have proven to be a failure in less than 24 hrs), while the client and the interface get sluggier and more hard to navigate, day by day.
The client doesn't even have tabs (right click -> open new tab), FFS.
oh lord
MOBA is the dumbest acronym ever. Multiplayer Online Battle Arena? So pretty much every multiplayer game ever then?

I can't wait for steam to introduce the ability for users to set prices...
Maybe it would be better to only show the most popular tags rather than all tags as all tags just encourages the silly tags.
Alternatively, much like the Half Life 3 greenlight thing they could either ban users from tagging or charge people to do it (not much, trading card/hat change...)

I love the bad game and garbage tab, save me so much time from reading and doing research.
Steam tag had so much potential, they just need some way to reduce the abuse.

listen to the mad man
I've been trying to tag games with Arcade, Score Attack, and Time Attack where relevant because that's something that I think would be extremely valuable for a lot of consumers who are looking either for or to avoid those kinds of experiences.

I saw COD games tagged with MOBA.
If anything, the term reminds me of old school arena shooters like Q3A and UT. It would fit those games better.

At least Gone Home has proper tags

Just been reading up on this, people are tagging spoilers for games - how did Valve not see how this would be used?.
Its so obvious that if you give people free reign to tag how/what they like, it would be abused in this manner.

COD games are also being tagged with Doom Clone.
Let's tag all FPS titles "Doom-like". If every permadeath game is a roguelike, then every FPS is a Doomlike
Its the truth.
Well arent you precious.

some of the custom tags are great but others are just awful
Steam's obsession with crowdsourcing things is a real double edged sword (Greenlight is another example of this)
they should just have staff that do this, both Greenlight and tagging not to mention have some proper customer service

It will even itself out over time once the trolls get bored. This is a beta, after all.
Community involvement is great and all but whoever at Valve developed this and released it and didn't see how letting anyone tag a game with practically anything was a disastrous idea is an idiot. Every dev whose game is now branded with stuff like "garbage" and "pretentious" on their own store page and in search results ought to be sending some justifiably angry emails to their Valve contacts right now.
Which reminds me of how awesome and better GoG-mixes are
At least Gone Home has proper tags
glad to see this wasn't affected by trolls
Did they ever fix those? It was a good idea, but the last time I was on the site they were pretty buggy.
More importantly, I'm glad the "Nanomachines, son" tag is going places.
I imagine over time we'll see the actual classifiers get upvoted so that the jokes and trolls sink to the bottom.Yesterday there was a "Gone Homo" tag, but thankfully that was apparently removed.

That's like saying 4chan will clean itself up after it gets bored. Every new release will only reinvigorate people to find new ways to be clever.
This is what I fully expect.
Don't leave L4D out!
