So me sensing the EA game changers reviews as sounding very fake is offensive? It is just they way seem to come off as. I don't agree with every review from any specific Youtuber, but I can honestly tell when they do not appear to be honest. Honest reviews have both negative and positive in them. This particular one stated the gameplay was good, if you already like the limitations of Sims 4. So for those that dislike the limitations, it sounds like it will not improve the game.

No, I did not say it's offensive :) I said it's annoying for people to assume that a) "EA game changers" (which people seem to despise for the name alone) are fake because they like the game and get excited about B&B additions (so do others, just FYI), or god forbid make money this way, or that b) LGR is fake (since some other people seem to think he just caters to the "negative vibe", which is an equally weird assumption) just because he's got certain issues with the game he's trying to address. I don't see why people nowadays have to call everything that doesn't support their feelings "fake" or manipulative. Especially when it's about what games we like.

And again, cause this kinda keeps popping up: yes, most EA game changers make money on YouTube (not even necessarily from EA, but in the many complex ways content creators on YouTube get paid). But many of them probably made vids before actually earning enough to make a living from it, and EA liked what they were doing for the sims and invited them into their program, just like they invited LGR. And if you've ever worked in marketing you know you're not gonna send free products to people for no reason at all, but for the sole purpose of reaching their audiences. They pick them because they're popular, it's rarely the other way around. People have to stop saying that LGR declining to be a part of EA's chosen early reviewers, makes him any more or less honest than anyone else.

Someone who likes the game might just have less qualms about signing up for this than someone who doesn't & wants that to remain clear. But really, I doubt EA would've forced him to change his reviews. Why would they ask him at all if they were too afraid of what he had to say? He's got audiences they want to connect with, that's why he got invited. He declined, life goes on. Other people didn't. And that doesn't make them any less trustworthy. If I love something and a company asks me if I want to get it for free early so I can write about it, I'd say yes in a heartbeat, too. And that wouldn't suddenly make me 1000% more critical about the product, just you know, because. Maybe you can tell when someone's being dishonest, but I'm afraid when it comes to this particular topic, people often equate dishonesty with disagreement.

@MidnightAura I wasn't trying to derail the thread, sorry you feel that way.
