Comment on Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen
WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 months agoThat sounds like it’s determined by the game developer and has nothing to do with steam.

It is, but steam does have its own form of advertising. Their front page is all ads for games and sales, go to your library there is ads for updates for your games.
It just seems to be acceptable since it’s their ecosystem content, but it’s still ads for all intent and purposes.

Yeah, for games. Ads for games on steam makes sense. Ads for Toyota on steam doesnt.

Ads are ads, just because it from the same ecosystem is moot.

Ok buddy, next youre going to tell me the stuff you see on the shelves in the store are ads lmao

so should Steam not have any game discovery features? Is it bad for Steam to display “trending games” because it’s technically advertising them by showcasing them?

I have no problem with patch notes

It’s an ad if the update is a DLC.

Except it’s for any “game news”……, so if they are peddling another game of theirs, it shows up there as well. Of we are selling a plushie, it’s there in the same place.
