I've been maintaining a machine with 'all' games installed for a few
years now and I think the procedure you mention has a few issues and
is not fully automatable in practice.
Not all of the games are co-installable, some of them are variants of
each other compiled for different toolkits and some of them conflict
with one another.
Some games are only installable on some architectures because their
engine doesn't build on some architectures (fenix for eg).
Some things in section games are data packages, game servers, game
level editors or other game related things but are not actually games
and shouldn't be in a games-all task.
There may be some games that aren't in section games but are games. I
haven't done any investigation of this but I guess it would be
possible.
