Game developers should be able to remove invalid tags

[Menzagitat]

On the store page of a game, you can see on the right side below the game rating and developer name, a section with "Popular user-defined tags for this product:"
This section might contain tags which are not valid anymore.
The developers should be able to remove tags which are in contradiction with the game features.

You can report them if you wish.

I think they already can remove ones that are no longer valid. Not 100% on that yet. I have asked a few devs to see and I am waiting on a response.

[Menzagitat]

I reported it of course. Developers tried to remove the tag too but they cannot.
I am curious what your answer will be.

This is why you take user tags with a grain of salt.

Sonic Forces used to have the Psychological Horror tag, according to SteamDB. I wonder if it was because of the custom character maker?

Nope, it was because of users. "Psychological Horror" is one of the most abused tags for new games.

Which of course renders the tag useless to anyone actually looking for such games.. ANd I love me some good mind-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horror, that's an itch that hasn't been scratched properly since FNAF 2.. Yeah you heard me. Sorry but everything after FNAF 2 seemed less horror and more, pandering.

They said they have to ask their Valve rep to forcefully remove it. Sorry I did not get back to you in a timely manner.

So, you reporting them is as quick as asking a dev.

I don't even know who's bright idea it was at Valve to allow the users to add thier own tags to games in the first place, it should have been up to the DEV's only when they put up their store page they should do it themselve, would have saved time and energy, now we have to flag them and wait for them to get reviewed.

I suppose the idea was devs can't anticipate how their audience receives the work. I mean Friday the 13th is technically classified as Horror but its effect on the audience is closer to that of comedy.. Not like say, Saw for example.

I've seen some fair usage of the tags, Just need to take it with a grain of salt.

I know so far about two games which have multiplayer tags and are actually not: Planet Nomads and Planetbase.
I wonder if players who would like to have multiplayer feature actually upvote this tag to punish the developers, by attracting other players who seek multiplayer and by generating confusion, refunds and negative reviews.
