Steam should make a mobile game store

Makes sense they don't want games supported by ad revenue on Steam.

Mobile games started off with that business model and the result is that users are very rarely open to purchasing mobile games, which is where Steam makes money.

I don’t even bother gaming on my phone anymore with everything filled with iaps and ads. Would rather just pay to have the license and play on the Steamdeck instead. Hell, with the sales I’m more likely to just get them even if I don’t get around to playing it.

the day gaben dies and the company falls into the grubby hands of investors, its over.

Valve is a private company, so depending on who owns a majority of the shares, not much might change after Gabens earthly demise.

Bans in-game ad but allows outside ad. The origin of drink verification can. There's no good idea that can't be made bad by marketing.
