Steam does not contain any paid advertising, nor are advertising models supported in games distributed on Steam. There are varying interpretations for what constitutes ‘advertising’ in a game, so the examples below are meant to help guide developers as to what is and is not supported on Steam. …

[h4]Business Model[/h4] Some key formats for monetization on mobile are not received very well by PC players. For instance, PC players seem less willing to put up with microtransaction configurations that hold back gameplay or progress unless you pay. We’ve seen some games that have had that kind of format on mobile switch to a premium model on PC where all the content is unlocked and unrestricted, which seems to work better. Where it makes sense, there are options on Steam to sell additional content as [doclink=store/application/dlc]DLC or expansions[/doclink] but the core game should be a full experience without requiring an additional purchase. …
