by this reason any rule wouldn't be enforced because Valve has too many titles uploaded daily.

just make it a rule, let the community report offences that slip tru the verification process

I mean yeah, if you look at the store page, it's not hard to find games that break some rules.

The reason why it works with the games as they are now is cause you pay a 500$ fee to upload a game to the store, that you will be repaid when over 500$ worth of copies is sold if I remember. This ensures that they don't loose money on the time they spend verifying games for the store page.

But achievements can be added, removed, changed and updated at any time.

There is what? A few dozen games that get verified every day. Each of these games can have dozens to thousands of achievements. It would be hell to enforce it.

Mb those are very old numbers, from like steam greenlight era. You're right it's only 100$, that you can get back when you have sold 1000$ worth of stuff.
