Some of the removals are great (you shouldn't be able to tag your game "Well-Written" or "Masterpiece") but some I don't understand. But I can't say I have encyclopedic knowledge of all the tags that exist so maybe most of the removed ones are already covered elsewhere.
Also yes, Bullet Heaven is a great genre name.
I thought the genre was "Bullet Hell"? So Bullet Heaven is now a new genre? And I wonder if the game called Bullet Heaven will be affected by this?
Bullet Hell is a thing already, Bullet Heaven is the new genre pioneered by Vampire Survivors. It replaces "Vampire Survivors-like'.
This reminds me of the gaming press transitioning from calling action games with a 3D first person perspective "Doom clones" to "first person shooters" (although "corridor shooter" was also a thing for a while, for obvious reasons).
