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.

Head Tap Meme Can't get called out by game reviewers if there's no functional games media.

There's very little decent media criticism of any kind left thanks to the ongoing media implosion, and games media is especially unprofitable.
