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

Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.

The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.

Start screen not cool either

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.
