minus-square@lud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoMaybe they mean the ads that popup occasionally when starting steam
minus-square@lud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years agoI have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.
minus-square@mihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoYeah, but hardly aggressive. They only popup when you start steam. If you leave it running, even with the option on, you never see them.
minus-square@lud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoI dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).
minus-square@mihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoBoth still optional. You can easily turn off both boot with OS and the ads it’s serving. Aggressive to me is non-optional, in-your-face type crap.
