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

      Yeah, but hardly aggressive. They only popup when you start steam. If you leave it running, even with the option on, you never see them.

          Both 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.
