Yeah, I agree with you. Banning ads is a good thing. I just wanted to point out that Valve isn't doing this purely for our benefit. Valve also does some anti-competitive or anti-consumer stuff to keep their near-monopolistic status.

Hmm. Fair. Thats something we should keep in mind...

Anyways. Im happy to get a broken 140€ Valve index cable replaced for free. Its a Month outside the warranty
