CRITICAL BUG [2] - Can not browse DLC reviews, still broken after six months
OS:
Windows 10

STEPS:
- Go to any DLC store page.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- Look for "browse more/all" reviews button.

RESULTS:
Discover the fact it no longer exists.

EXPECTED:
There is a browse more/all reviews button at the bottom of each and every DLC store page on Steam.

ADDITIONAL:

This has been an issue for over six months. The new steam review helpfulness system has made it impossible to open, view and read 99.9% of DLC reviews which is effectively half of all, if not more reviews across the entire storefront.

I can only view a maximum of 10-20 reviews, give or take a few at all. I cannot expand this to include any others. This is easily verifiable and replicatable by 30 million+ active Steam users on browsers and the Windows Application alike. Just scroll to the bottom of a DLC storefront page and attempt to browse more reviews via any applicable method of choice.

The browse all button is present on main game pages, just not their DLCs. I cannot assess, accurately evaluate the quality of, and come to an informed purchase decision on DLCs if I cannot reliably read reviews. I have submitted three Steam Support requests on this matter and each time they have directed me here.

What is the point of having thousands and tens of thousands of reviews for popular DLC if I can only read such a small proportion of them, when in the past, that being in fact merely over the six month mark now, I could? Why is this not an issue for their main game pages?

Dramatic, I know. But I'm frustrated, it's been six months now and it's not a complicated issue to resolve. Make it happen. Also, why is there no bug section in these forums?

Second time I'm reposting this, I hope it is the last.

Found it's as you describe while the review filter is set to Summary, on other display options the Load More Reviews button is available.
(Filters > Display)

(Only checked this with a web browser on my phone, presumably it's the same elsewhere)

It should take us to the Community tab>Review section, but this is only available for main games. "Summary" for main game store pages still provides you access to a "browse all 178,000 reviews"

It's still broken, and over half of all Steam reviews are practically not browseable.
