Making people watch streamers to get an early access code is awful.

One of the most uncomfortable things for gen xers like me to do is watch other people play video games. We grew up watching other people play because we were waiting for our turn and we hated it. I would rather get kicked in the balls than watch a streamer for more than a few minutes.

    LOL this is the thing think about us real old timers we had to wait for someone to finish on playing then have the privilege of having to pay to play a game in the pre console/pc gaming days. But yea getting this via streamers truly sux, listening to the drivel as well. 

    Come on EA would be cool if you could just give out a bunch of keys to us BF fans. I would be elated to play ASAP.

  • I’m gen x and I don’t mind watching other people play 😅

  • Well... so called "streamers" already have got what EA need - people\players - potential buyers. Watch stream for 1 hour - not a huge deal, especially comparing with how usual long streams are (5-8... 12 hours).

    Keep in mind, EA will not check... are you really watched stream. You no need to tell what actually happened there. Noone ask questions and check facts. :)

    Also, i think EA Play Pro subscription also offer Open Beta access if you really busy. So, there are another way. Not really that expensive if you ask me.

  • Being completely honest, I'm not a fan of it either. I understand why companies do this, since it drives engagement, but I've just got zero interest in watching someone else play a game. 

  • Turn the stream on, mute, change tab - wait for code, problem solved 😏

    miss the bf3 beta days, my email address i registered with is even mailto:[edit: email address removed] lol 

    sucks that you have to get it via streaming services and connecting the EA app to these platforms, mines doesn't even work lol crap system 

  • Yeah, I just don't care about what a streamer or influencer has to say about a game. They aren't representative of normal players. I don't want to watch someone else play either, just want to play for myself and form my own opinion.
