Right so no actual examples then?

And you can't say advertising because of course there's going to be adverts up for games sold on the platform. I think most people would argue that if you go into a store, and then see a sign in that store, for something that is sold in the store, that's not advertising, that's just signage.

The goal of advertising is to try to convince you that you want a product or a service. But if you are already in the store you've already made the decision that you want that product or service, so by definition you can't be advertised to at that point.
