I was wondering since I own the OLED Deck why they are still displaying ads in the store about it. What's the point?

ads on steam aren't personalized, and be very glad they're not

Sign in to view personalized recommendations

At least, thats what the steam website says.

Personalized recommendations is not the same as personalized ads. You get recommendations depending on games you have played, but the ads seem to be general for everyone.

recommendations, not ads

it's talking about the Discovery Queue, which recommends games for you to play based on what you have in your library and what your friends play

none of that google tracker shit like you're probably expecting
