Q: Does Steam pricing support games with paid ads? A: No. Steam does not support paid ads or referral/affiliate revenue from showing ads for other games and/or products or services. If your game's revenue relies on advertising on other platforms, you will need to find a new monetization model in order to release on Steam. Some options you could consider: Switch your game be a single purchase or make it free to play with microtransactions or additional content as DLC. Q: Does Steam pricing support "paywall" games? A: No. Steam does not support models where a customer is blocked and needs to pay to continue playing. If you would like to have a free demo to show off your game, you're welcome to do so. Your demo and full game can share files as well to continue game play. To figure out if a demo is the right thing for your game, please check out the Demos Documentation.

Advertising on Steam 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. Not Supported Developers should not utilize paid advertising as a business model in their game, such as requiring players to watch or otherwise engage with advertising in order to play, or gating gameplay behind advertising. If your game's business model relies on advertising on other platforms, you will need to remove those elements before shipping on Steam. Some options you could consider include switching to a single purchase "paid app," or making your game free to play with optional upgrades sold via Microtransactions or Downloadable Content (DLC). Developers should not use advertising as a way to provide value to players, such as giving players a reward for watching or engaging with advertising in their game. Developers should not charge other developers for access to Steam features. These include sale pages, bundles, store pages, franchise pages, etc.

Valve has created a dedicated page describing that in-game ads or ad-based revenue models are not allowed in Steam games.

This has been reported as a new policy, but this has been the case for at least 5 years as seen on the pricing page, there just wasn't a separate page.

Not inside the game.

The Digital Antiquarian made a lenghty write-up that talks about the state of CRPGs in the 90s... and it has a big mistake I've seen many other places: www.filfre.net/2025/01/the-...

Here's a short thread about a huge misconception about CRPGs in the 90s - people forget it was the age of blobbers.

Why is 420 Blaze it 2 the highest rated game in my wishlist, beating Balatro?

The Bethesda studios do amazing food models. Starfield has a ton of great ones too.

So, coding a profanity filter for server and player names is weird. It's essentially documenting into code the worst words and expressions that humankind's darkest minds(and my own) have come up with...

Would you rank them like that?

The poison staff did nothing wrong.

Sam Lake was great as always. Liked the muppets roasting Jeff. Couldn't tell if Harrison Ford didn't want to be there or if he was just really old.

I'm just happy it's a pixel art platformer.

What was your favorite part of the Game Awards and why am I an old grump that the industry left behind?

But learning new things so hard :P

I'm not sure I understand, but maybe you can just attach a flat plane to the camera and put your sprite texture on it. That way, it gets lit normally because it's actually a 3D object.
