I don't think of that as a difficult problem. No, I am not interested in Teardown if I'm searching for that particular set of tags, and I don't want Steam guessing at whether to show me a game or not. That's fine on the home page, or in the discover queye, but If I search for 5 tags, and a game only has 4, the game doesn't meet my criteria and ought to be hidden. I forget what the number cited in the article is, but there is a deluge of a games added to Steam every single day. Enough that there's almost certainly a fair chunk of games which meet my hypothetical criteria exactly, so I don't want to wade through games which "might interest me". There are other section of the store dedicated to that concept, including on the pages of the 5 tag games I'm browsing for.
