I have added Tekken 8 to my ignore list

[Bagel]

Why is Tekken 8 propaganda on Steam's main store page still being shoved into my face?

Seems a little more than personal if people agree with the OP

Multiple people can have a personal issue.

If it's more than one person, it stops being personal; it starts being a problem.

The OP doesn't want to be advertised AAA garbage. Neither do I.

No, it still is.

More than one person can have the same personal problem. It isn't suddenly a problem just because someone agrees.

As well as, stated previously, it's easy to simply ignore it.

When does a "personal" problem become a problem to you then?

When it has a measurable negative impact on a significant amount of people.

Unwanted advertisement is a universal issue. It's why adblockers exist pretty much everywhere, and why some people (including myself) stopped using Twitch as a platform (among other reasons).

Well as its already been explained to you, the "solution" would degrade performance and then it would become a personal problem to every user on steam and negatively impact them.

There is no negative impact to you as you are capable of ignoring things you don't like. You don't always have a say in what stores choose to advertise.

Yet if we put a game on our ignore list, it means that we specifically want it to disappear and not be mentioned to us in the slightest.

Feel free to stop using Steam then. Don't expect a STORE to not have ads. You'd be hard pressed to find any store in the world where you can control what ad's you see in the store.

Yep, and as explained its a performance issue

They aren't making alternate versions of their website for every person who wants to not see a title. If you go into any store in the world you will see ads. Just ignore them if they aren't of interest to you.

Except this ad isn't interrupting anything or actively covering/removing parts of the store. It's literally a background image that takes one scroll to hide.

Isn't the same as an ad that stops a video or pops up over the page.

Lots a drama in this thread over a banner on the front page.

All this drama wouldn't unfold if Valve did it right and would hide ads from games that we put on our ignore list. No I'm gonna have to see this spam till Monday.

All this drama wouldn't unfold if users took a pragmatic approach and understanding that not everything in this world is going to be catered to their every whim.

Why are you spending so much time looking at the front page of the store, anyhow? Who is keeping you from sliding the page up an inch or two to hide the banner that gives you so much grief?

It's not worth all of the drama. Just move on.

I mean I don't really get that. When did people expect stores to all of a sudden redesign themselves around their every whim?

It's an easy script to say "hide ad if game is on ignore list"

So it should be implemented. Cause that would be cool and good.

Then the same thing happens if you walk into a physical store that has a banner you don't like. You ignore it.

Nice try, but it works differently on digital stores like Steam. Unlike Steam, physical shops don't let you put stuff on your personal ignore list and hide those items from the shelves when you walk along but Steam does it. So as you see, your example makes no sense here. What's the point of offering an ignore function if it's not implemented consequently throughout the entire platform?

And don't tell me no fairy tales about cache and bandwidth. It's only clogging my own bandwidth and temp folder so I don't understand why it shouldn't be a thing to just get rid of.

Which means every time that page loads it has to do a call to your ignored list and determine if the game is on your list which is a performance hit with the amount of traffic. Then you have the issue for when they do a publisher sale and the banner might have 5-6 games of which you might have ignored 1 of them....

So you try to address those issues, or users are free to just ignore ads they don't like. Not every ad in a store will be custom tailored to you.
