???

I honestly think the only reason is to artitificially boost monthly players.

I think cinematics should launch in-game, but 4k youtube videos should come out within a week. I want to watch it on my samsung using the tv youtube app so I can apply motion smoothing and get 120fps.

But why should it?

  1. Every cinematic has been uploaded to yt so you’re going against a set precedent

  2. If you want it to be in game why only in game?

I’m agreeing with you. It was an idea I raised years ago that all cinematics should be in game, but they need to have a central place to watch all of them including old ones. But I never thought this would be something exclusive, youtube was always going to need to be included. I bet it’s just delayed.

Why delay it tho?

I honestly think it’s because they want to artificially boost monthly players, which is scummy but nothing new for this company

^^ This. There is literally no other possible reason to have it exclusive to the in game client.
