Companies used to do this, but stopped when every game reviewer called them out on it. It was always in kinda shitty games too. You can rest assured that EA is fully capable of making shitty games with ads in them.

I don't mind it if it makes sense. Driving around in GTA if there's a gap billboard I don't care. I don't want banner ads in the equipment menu though

How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn't the plan from the start)?
