Civ % Steam question - disabling ads

[terveurn]

Got a question for the gamers - after I close out Civ 5, Steam pops-up up ad for other games on my PC

Any way of blocking, eliminating this advertising from coming to my computer

Go into Steam, Settings, Interface tab, and I believe the last checkbox at the bottom is what you're looking for.

Would be nice if we could separate out being notified of game updates for Civ V from general ads - guess they don't want that?

I play in Offline mode. Kills that annoying crap. Gaming updates are easy enough to check every now and then manually.

One click on the 'close' button, and it disappears. Not exactly a super difficult, time-consuming and painful experience. Myself, I've found a number of great deals on games I'd been looking to buy anyway, or had been putting off till they came on sale. Short term sales you just miss if you depend on the forgetful 'every now and then manually' method. At 50-75% off of a $30-$60 game I wanted to get anyway? Keep them ads comin', Steam!

Best gaming shopfront on the web.

I know it's not that much bother, but some feel as I; really disliking being the subject of targeted advertisement. Matter of fact I dislike it so much I erase all cookies every time I browse sites like youtube and I refuse to participate in social networking.

edit: I just really abhor and reject any use of my habits giving an advertiser psychological edge. It's an immediate, complete turn-off and I categorically "shut it down" any chance I notice it.

Thanks a lot. =)
