Valve have updated the developer guidelines for releasing a game on Steam, making it clear that the scourge of mobile gaming advertising-based business models are not going to work on Steam.
Yeah, but every time Valve does anything, people are always thinking they did it for them. Honestly, I have no issue with non-intrusive ads. If it’s a racing game or something with ads on the boards, like real life, I don’t mind. It can provide the developers with extra money, which either reduces cost to the consumer or allows them to do more. It also does no harm to the consumer.
Removing options isn’t really good. It isn’t in the customer’s best interest. It’s only in Valve’s best interest. Only a knee-jerk reaction makes it seem like it’s in the customer’s best interest.
