Okay hear me out.

This comes out on Netflix and then is on YouTube 6 hours later. 6 hours is a long fucking time on the internet. This video is going to be leaked instantly. It will be posted and shared everywhere minutes after it ends. Not just leaked but I'm sure you can go to any number of discord servers and watch somebody stream it. Rockstar doesn't care. Netflix doesn't care. The goal is not a pay walled advertisement.

It's a stress test of Netflix live streaming. They need something so big yet so inconsequential to test this with. If it goes well, they can say "Hey, we tested it out, and we are capabe of streaming the Superbowl". If it doesn't work. Eh, just release it to YouTube, whatever.

Thats my guess at least.
