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?

Ads don't make much money, like somewhere between $10-15 per 1000 views on average. If you consider how long some single player games are, say 50 hours or 3000 minutes, that is 1 ad per 3 minutes of gameplay to save $10-15 on a 'lite' version.
