How about a system like "Pay less, play with ads"? (alien.top)

I don't know if this has been discussed before but after what Ubisoft did recently I had the question: What would you think of a system in which you purchase lite versions of games which are cheaper but there are ad breaks?

This isn't a passive medium like television. Showing a player an ad in an active medium means taking control away from the player for a while to show them something that they don't particularly care to see. All the negative qualities of a cut scene with none of the upsides. There would be a massive backlash against not only the publishers that do this, but also the companies that put their ads in those places.

There are ways to put advertisements into games. This ain't it.
