I have purposely clicked on ads for some video games. It isn't worth the click even then since you end up on some marketing railroad that doesn't lead directly to the steam page.
Same for me, on occasion I've discovered decent games by clicking on the ads on mobile. Since I know it's going to open up the play store, it doesn't feel as sketchy.
However, the vast majority of the time I back out after taking a look at the game page.
I was thinking "no" but, yeah, Steam Store front page. Almost every time I launch, I take a moment to see what's good today.
But apart from that, I can't think of a time though it's probably happened once or twice over the years. At best, some brand's ad looks like a good idea, so I start searching the market,and if I buy, you can be guaranteed it ended up being from a competitor.
