Valve bans disruptive in-game ads on Steam, aiming to keep gaming experience seamless.

Valve has updated Steam's policy to ban in-game ads that disrupt gameplay or require players to watch ads to progress. The new rules aim to maintain a seamless gaming experience, similar to avoiding mobile gaming disruptions. Developers can still use real-life brands in games but must avoid forcing ads on players. Valve suggests single-purchase or free-to-play models with optional microtransactions as alternatives to ad-based revenue.
