Valve has emphasised its rules around advertising, explicitly prohibiting games that force players to watch in-game ads.

Late edit:

per https://sopuli.xyz/comment/14584874 & https://bsky.app/profile/steamdb.info/post/3lhsxkmaj7c2c this is not a new policy.

      Mostly ports of mobile games, which are free with ads, and usually with an option to pay to remove ads
