I can't say I see the point in changing the policy given that standard links are sufficient to access the official videos. We wouldn't be gaining anything by uploading them here, and if BioWare chooses to remove their videos from YouTube for whatever reason, it could still be a copyright issue for us to continue to host copies of them without their permission.

If we absolutely must display the videos directly in the wiki's articles rather than linking to them, we can always embed them instead. Embedding allows YouTube videos to be displayed on wiki pages without the need to upload them onto the site as files. Again, though, I just don't see why links aren't enough; call me old-fashioned.
