also wow "shoot em up" and "bullet hell" have become completely meaningless tags on steam now because EVERY SINGLE action roguelike tags itself with both
not only that, I know of multiple traditional/"authentic" STG that were denied permission to participate in the promo by Valve and/or had to argue for a slot, including friggin SHMUP CREATOR, because their point of contact did not consider their games to be "shmups"
for fuckin' real. like I am always mad about how much shit gets erroneously labelled as a visual novel but the vn community doesn't have it nearly as bad as the shmup scene does
