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.

Is, in fact: objective. Objective in the meaning (looked that up) “undistorted by emotion or personal bias; based on observable phenomena”. That is exactly what he does. Which is why I value his reviews even in those cases he has a different opinion than me, because he always explains why he feels a certain way*. Enabling me to judge whether I share his opinion or not. He is not biased. And indeed, his reviews aren’t overall negative, also not in this case. Still people feel very threatened by him somehow. Maybe because he presents facts before giving his personal view?

(*example, I remember him being very enthousiastic about GT, but it became clear to me that it was for reasons I don’t care for myself so I didn’t buy the pack until much later when it was on sale)

Yeah, the problem with using objective that way is people tend to take it meaning he has no opinion -- he does, and he expresses it in an entertaining way. What he doesn't have is a bias towards making sure he keeps his free stuff coming. And frankly, EA by dropping him from the free-stuff program also sent a clear message to other reviewers. Keep it positive.

Really, they're paid well. Not only in free games, but aren't there boot camps as well that they get sent to as well that EA pays for? Or am I wrong about that and it was a one-off thing?

Yes, a strategy I can’t really get my head around by the way. Because it underlines the hunch people have anyway the privileged are biased. EA makes sure not only those influencers realize they better be or else, but on top of that the whole fanbase and the rest of the world can witness it.

Remember LGR was never an influencer/game changer. They sent him free copies. But he refused to be part of of the program. The game changer program means you can be selected to go to sims camp which is a yearly event and sometimes other events/meetings. (Some of them have been to California very recently for meetings)

They did stop sending him free copies which does say they prefer postivity.

Whoops this is really meant for @Felicity
