LGR got a few packs free; however, it didn't change his tone, and so it didn't last very long. I think the word people are looking for is not objective (his reviews, like everyone else's, are subjective) but he doesn't have the bias that a reviewer who wants to keep getting their rewards has. In fact, LGR being dropped from the free-game program so quickly shows that his brand of honesty is not appreciated.

It's weird because he reviews are never "all negative." He has issues with the game play of Sims 4, but he does try to point out what he likes, what he doesn't like, the stuff from CAS, and he will say what he thinks is good within the limitations of the game engine.

Edit: Huge typo.

That's the whole thing people seem to miss. Kind of repeating myself here since I already said this last time but they want to build an echo chamber of social media influencers that praise their game and only criticize it in comparatively trivial ways like objects and aesthetics but never get around to the core of the problem which is gameplay.

I know some of y'all find this shocking but imo the look of a game is a secondary concern, the primary one being gameplay. If you like looking at pretty colors and moving things and think that justifies paying ( in this case ) 20 bucks then go watch a movie or a play, go to a museum, art gallery or the botanical garden. But a game is supposed to be more interactive, more involved and in some ways more challenging or just challenging in a different way than these.

Also, concerning the whole "fake" thingy, I think that's because a lot of these influencers squeal, use "yaaaas", "slay" "queeeen" and other words associated with overly dramatic people and often show a certain affection for drama and lifestyle, even in their games. They always have to have model-esque Sims and if they play out stories they're mostly very superficial and basic, like a soap opera. And here lies the crux of the matter. This overacting, this focus on superficial attributes and certain lifestyles makes them seem - you got it - fake. As in, they don't seem trustworthy or reliable because they seem to enjoy intrigues and backstabbing a bit too much. They seem manipulative because they try to trick you into thinking they're sooooooo relatable while also trying to uphold their perfect and presentable instagram lifestyle.

LGR doesn't need that because he's got personality. And his own opinions. Some of which I agree with, some of which I don't. He doesn't have to do much to be appealing because he doesn't try to please everyone while creating an image of himself that's far away from reality.

Also, if you watch a variety of these influencers and they all seem to have the same personality because aside from their "haha I'm so quirky and funny and kooky" and "YAS gurl slay those heels!" there's nothing left about them as people, then it just gets kinda uncomfortable and boring. But that's just me.
