Thanks for your input, I will take the debate on this no further, please do not expect any more replies or input from me on the nature of advertising, as that is not what this topic is intended for - regardless of your next response.
I do not appreciate the political trolling at a detriment to all those who want to fix the webkit for other purposes too, contact me privately if you want to discuss advertising. Thank you From: csgo_servers-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:csgo_servers-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Matthias "InstantMuffin" Kollek Sent: 14 December 2015 13:42 To: csgo_servers@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] Latest steam update broke the webkit in-game It's kind of shady that people went forth asking for the MOTDs to be fixed, and listed a lot of use cases except for ads (which they are all using MOTDs for). I get that you're trying to promote and save your company here, but what you're saying is still bullshit. These player-abusing communities shouldn't be online in the first place. I have yet to find a single decent server (no p2w, no pseudo-donations, not being hosted by actual, clueless kids) that does run ads. You are part and reason for the change that underwent in financing communities. From either a bunch of friends that love to play the game who throw together the money, or communities that create and manage their own creative, sophisticated and unique content (and could therefore rely on actual donations), to teenagers that need to rent as many cheap and slow VPSs as possible to run as many servers with ads as possible (and other thrown-together things like p2w-systems and weapon skins), trying to force the young target group of players to hop on and indulge your horrors. 5-10 years ago it was not normal to: -Get unfair advantages on community servers for money -Get market item usage rights on community servers for money -Have an ad played per round (an [expletive] loud one at that) -Be forced to enable dynamic motds in order to join teams (therefore theoretically infringing the policy of truth, by not properly stating in the server browser that this server is not freely available, but has certain requirements) So yeah, please throw the first stone if you think this development is not abusive. Just letting you know you're being a joke though.

I am sure trolling on here is not permitted, so let's keep things professional, and the maturity level of the thread high.

Hope this stays "broken" like this. Fuck your ads for contributing to ruining public server reputation etc in Valve's other games. Is the one impression when they first connect not enough for you? Have to force it into their face every time they die, do you?
