If you’re anything like the countless mobile gamers out there, you’re probably all too familiar with the frustration of in-game advertisements. The freemium model dominates the mobile gaming landscape, compelling you to endure endless ads. These often come with fake countdowns, unresponsive “X” buttons, and deceptive interactions aimed at redirecting you to app stores. Thankfully, Valve is taking a stand. They’ve made it crystal clear that any similar antics on their PC platform will lead to an immediate ban. It’s a breath of fresh air in a world where gaming should be about fun, not frustration. – John Walker
