Steam makes the ban on games dependent on ad-game ads more clearly, so no ‘watch it is to keep playing with PCs

Update 10/02/2025: As mentioned in Steamedb in BlueskyWhile this specific page of Steam advertising policy new, policy itself is not. Valve has a ban on these kinds of ad-game games in the past five years at least, found on preicing policy page.
Original story: First reported in Linux GamingValve added a new Advertising page of SteamWorks Devenumation in Development. Page designed which types of advertising and promotions allow steam, while obviously prohibit ad-game ads as a model platapor game on Ubquiteous PC.
Product placement is still in, up to “as descriptions do not interfere and deserve within the context of the game.” The valve gives a career game with real life sponsors as an example of what is okay, and it’s sure to reboot my dream Pepsiman It will still find a house in the store, thank God. Cross-promotions are also allowed, but valve states “no circumstances okay to participate in developers in a bond or other vapor page.” End, paid advertising campaigns outside the steam lead to a store page fairly play.
The prohibited forbidden any form of advertising in-game access to gates of, or otherwise intervene, gameplay. “Developers should not use paid advertising as a business model in their game, such as the required players to watch or otherwise to play advertising to play,” Valve letters. Mainly, looks like a blank restriction of any kind of “Watch this ad to play the game” Design with game ads tied like Power Ups or Game Money
I don’t think experiencing or heard a game involved in this steam behavior, but given the spread of other platforms, especially mobile games to put it as a larger measure. The valve is the most lighendus touch when it comes to vapor arrives, but plus one “I will find it if I see this” ban on offensive content, bright NFT and CRYPTO games forbiddenand also needed games that trust generative ai to Reveal its use. The company is clearly having a feeling of what playing the PC like to go to the platform influence.
