If it were just a few cut scenes, it wouldn't be an issue in the first place. The issue is its more like a few dozen cut scenes that last a very long time. Ones that now everyone is forced to watch over and over and over and over and over again. There's other content others may want to do during their play time and strong arming everyone into sitting through nearly an hour of cut scenes isn't very fun cause it becomes a time waster. I know story is a big thing for lots but how many times can you sit through the same cut scenes until they're memorized before you get sick and say "enough...I don't wanna do this anymore".
