After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your help (www.gamesradar.com)

Did you read the article? Are you familiar with the concept of tech debt? Sounds like they would have to put the rest of the game dev on hold for months if not a year to make progress, and they're already known as a company with slow dev because they take care of their employees and don't crunch.

I mean I agree I want female dwarves in the game, but it's literally millions of dollars to implement

Except you can do it incrementally and just have a female dwarf that doesn't support everything.
