Based on modern streaming standards

Your about to make that killer blow for the boss that's been pissing you off for weeks. You input the button combo. An ad kicks in messing up your input. The ad ends you find yourself at the last checkpoint

Alternately, you're playing an RPG, and you've reached an emotional climax. Mid-cutscene while a character is delivering a gut-wrenching dialog, an ad for Raid Shadow Legends fills your screen.

Hard no-thanks from me, but I could see this maybe being a viable option for folks who just can't afford to buy games which, given the state of everything, might be a growing percentage of the population.
