Actually they tried experimenting with in-game ads at one point in CS 1.6.

Personally, I'm kinda amazed everyone forgot about ads in the MOTD that a lot of multiplayer source games had. Granted, the ads were set by the server host, not Valve, but yeah.
Tf2 community servers still have motd ads sometimes.
