Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.

Start screen not cool either

They're testing the waters, vote with your wallets.

That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
