Game Tags and ability to search for them
« on July 29th, 2017, 03:58 PM »
 This feature came in mind while looking for games that have been removed from the store and have been marked as decomissioned on the site. What I would suggest is a way to list all of these decomissioned games, not only decomissioned actually but any kind of such game tag, and to access this list by searching the tag as well.

Well, it's not really a tag technically... I'm only allowing users to search for proper user tags, but I'm looking into integrating Genres later... So, maybe I'll use the opportunity to add support for other types of tags, I don't know.
IIRC there are already non-Steam custom user tags in the database, now that I think of it. It was all scraped from Barter at the time Barter was dead. Perhaps it has the tags you want then, I don't know. Try looking for random tag IDs. As for decommissioned, I could search for those as well. But having such a flag doesn't mean it's really off the market. Oftentimes it's back and it hasn't been reflected on the game page. (In which case you can post a comment on the game page to indicate it's back up...)
