Shocking my SteamDeck and Linux PC give me zero ads.
Not justifying it, something that I paid for should not show ads. But there isn’t a current mainstream console that doesn’t have ads, so getting it once would still be better than getting it on every boot.

getting it once and not pushing back, means you’ll get it twice… then three times… then anytime you boot. then anytime you load a game, then while you’re playing a game.
you’re being raped and justifying it because ‘it could be worse’
like you said, something you paid for should not show ads, yet it is…

My Steam Deck doesn’t serve me ads. Not even the on-boot sale pop up that desktop Steam gives.

You can turn that one on desktop off, btw

its interface puts anything steam related to the top, so in a sense it is advertising itself.
Let’s say you’re planning to get Silksong. You could buy it off from GOG by switching to desktop mode, running Heroic, searching back the game and buy it. Alternatively you can just search it on Steam and buy there with no previous steps.
