You don't get a copy of the game before release = you can't review in time = most will watch elsewhere = you'll lose views.I get that you are being sarcastic but i wanted to elaborate on the issue regardless:What do you expect, when their patreon doesn't take off, they have to pay for the professional mic they boughtI always knew that Australoid slag was dirty. Never liked his take on guns, always smacked exactly the kind of drivel a "gun nut" in a land with no guns would sound.I'm sure it's a given that every single eceleb is a shill. There was a case when one of the FPS game genre e-ecelebs Gman or something got caught shilling for fucking EA out of all things if I remember correctly and then just went ahead and confirmed it and adopted it as "yeah, because it's good no shit". YouTube channels are the new press, so obviously anyone who's popular is going to have their hands in the pot.The guy is a publisher shill. Stopped watching his videos once i learned that he's bought by publishers.![]()
If you are a public figure who speaks about the quality of games to the public, and/or has influence on people's game purchase decisions, you shouldn't take perks from publishers or have relationships with people who represent publishers (e.g. their PR teams). Perks: early game releases, gifts, collectibles, VIP access to company, travel and board to their studios, free games and other misc. swag, etc. There's an obvious conflict of interest there. It's not that hard. Apparently though the market has spoken and people don't care enough to blackball youtubers who do take perks/get VIP treatment from game publishers/game developers.
The exception are reviewers who make reviews a circus like AngryJoe.
