Go head and further familiarize yourself as to what CAN SPAM, NATIVE ADVERTISING and ignoring the Steam users marketing preferences is all about. $$$$$$$$$$$ Links below and to the side --->

CAN SPAM covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as “any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service,” including email that promotes content on commercial websites.
some federal courts have ruled that CAN-SPAM’s definition of “electronic mail message” includes commercial messages transmitted to a social network user’s inbox, news feed, wall, etc. - candid-answers-can-spam-questions

I guess Valve does not consider Steam a social network or our library's What's New, a featured area inbox, news feed, wall, etc. Of course they wouldn't. Control the Narrative and You Control the People!

Native Advertising - Marketers and publishers are using innovative methods to create, format, and deliver digital advertising. One form is “native advertising,” content that bears a similarity to the news, feature articles, product reviews, entertainment, and other material that surrounds it online. But as native advertising evolves, are consumers able to differentiate advertising from other content?

And or do users care that a company in it its walled garden has taken away and even ignored many of their users store marketing preferences to deliver such aggressive SPAM Native Advertising into a dedicated featured area just for that SPAM in their library?
