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.
Realistically they’re probably doing this mostly because they don’t get the 30% cut on ad revenue. They want to force publishers to actually charge money through Steam.
I regularly use my 60W FW13 power supply with the FW16 (incl. dGPU) and it does cover the power demand when you’re only doing relatively light workloads (e.g. no gaming or sustained all-core compute).
