Remember Steam’s tag feature, which lets users label games with anything they’d like — provided the tags aren’t abusive or spoilery? They have struck again, and this time their target is Call of Duty.

Lol when I saw putt putt, I thought it was the car farting.
*tin foil hat on* Or maybe some clever indy devs have figured out how to use the user tagging system to get their games show up in the recommendations of super popular games. *tin foil hat off*.
