"We're surprised all the time" by which games take off, says Steam's Erik Peterson.

      Maybe they mean the ads that popup occasionally when starting steam

          I have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.

              I dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).

                  For me, aggressive doesn’t necessarily have to mean non-optional.
