Really Pixelade???

All the game-changers will have to broaden their scope with other games as Sims 4 gets older and nearer to it's end. James Turner is already doing it, LGR has largely given up on it, building a large following for other stuff and Pixilade and others will have to do the same. I doubt EA will support them after they have finished with a game, from what I see with SimCity5, so any other business game-changers do, is their own concern to win or fail at and not any of our business. Just support or not, it's your choice. Just my opinion though. :)

LGR is not a game changer. Even when he was getting codes from EA he was still producing non Simming videos. He is not dependent on EA in the slightest. I agree some game changers are trying to broaden their horizons, many will jump straight on the sims 5 band wagon.

To me, other Game Changers are much worse than Pixelade. They will manipulate their (incl. minor) followers to pre-order a $40 pack, only to say „this pack feels a little bit empty“ some weeks later. They will keep their honest opinion to themselves (at first or forever) in order to not jeopardize their free trip to San Francisco. I‘m sure most of them don‘t even play The Sims 4 outside of their Let‘s Plays hence why oftentimes they don‘t know the most basic gameplay thing.

Pixelade offers advertisement for a small fee, the creators get exposure and potential new Patreons (=$$$), his followers get information about new free mods. I don‘t see how anyone is losing. When a modder is willing to pay for ads then you can be sure that they aspire to be the next Turbodriver, Basemental or Sacrificial who make like 3-8k per month. It‘s an investment on their part. Pixelade‘s only mistake was it to make it public which shows that he‘s honest imo. I‘d wish Game Changers were as transparent when it comes to compensation for advertising the game. They‘re made to sign hundreds of papers though to prevent that... go figure.

I don’t think Pixelade is any different in that regard, he can gush with the best of them, the only difference is he will admit once the pack is out he doesn’t like it. Always after he’s back from his free trip.
He said island living was so much better than Island Paradise (which is fine) but how many people were influenced to buy the pack under his review? Whereas by comparison Plumbella was very upfront with her review and even said with the last pack that If someone is considering buying for build and buy and cas- dont - get cc instead and save yourself some money.

A small cc creator won’t get anything out of Pixelade’s proposal except their wallet be $50 lighter. Their creations are free to use. Game changers have to confirm if their videos are sponsored, it’s a legal requirement. I don’t agree this makes him honest, I think it shows he is greedy and only in it for the money which is ironic when reviewing mods helped build his channel. Deligracy for example showcased modders work as has Plumbella this week, they aren’t trying to hit creators in the wallet whilst doing so. They also have a bigger following so have more reach- really what makes his opinion so special he thinks it’s worth 50 bucks?
