    The extended look will also be available at 9pm ET on YouTube, but for six hours, it will essentially be paywalled behind a Netflix subscription.

    Um… ok

    1. Who cares? It’s a trailer.
    2. Most of the people complaining probably already have a Netflix subscription
    3. It’s 6 hours after you’ve already waited 4 years, chill out
    4. Someone’s going to rip it after 10 minutes away
    5. Vice City was the most fun, SA broke your childhood, IV had the best story, V had heists. There’s no way VI is going to top all those, we’ll be lucky if it makes top 3.

    I dunno, I think it’s fine if a company wants to limit the reach of a marketing campaign for a few hours.

    If someone chooses to pay Netflix more than they otherwise would so they can watch an advertisement earlier then everyone else, then that says much more about the viewer than it does about the companies involved.
