      Because you have to download the app (so they can gather your telemetry data to sell to advertisers) and pay for it via their credits system.

      It’s the same reason everything is moving towards apps instead of websites.

        It definitely wasn’t always monetized that way. I get that everyone needs to make money but who goes to the movies with the intent to pee during the film so often that they would pay for that?

            Have you met other humans? We all have different bodies and they don’t all behave the same way. In fact we all have unique perspectives, needs, desires etc. I hope you’re not stumbling through life with such a simplistic viewpoint.

            Well I don’t pee during movies that’s for sure. You pee before the movie and unless it’s 4 hours long you should be good to go for the whole thing.
