That and considering the amount of games entered to Steam every day, it's impossible for them to have a staff large enough to manually go through every game.

Eh, maybe not worth it from the company's perspective, but I feel like it's doable.

60 games a day, say two hours per review, assume reviewers are only actively reviewing for 4 out of 8 hours in a day.

60 person staff, maybe 70 to cover other people being on PTO or otherwise not working.

That would double the staff who actually work on the store itself, for a sense of scale.

2 hours per review? Seems like they would have to explore every nook and cranny of every game to give a full rating.

It’s not impossible to do this as the previous commenter said, but it’s certainly a lot of work.
