I've seen some "game changers" travelling this coming week, pretty sure they're announcing something this week. Maybe the last EP and the TS5 at EA Play. I really want The Sims 4 to end lol
I don't understand. Game changers? Can you explain?
Game Changers is an EA program where youtube content creators can get early access on games with some...benefits. So Yep, example of this was youtubers who get early access codes. I think this program started on with FIFA then transferred to other ea games.
While it sounds good, Its not the best for the franchise. I hear many people saying that Maxis has stopped giving LGR early access to packs because Maxis don't want him to be negative, but this game changers program is the result why lgr didn't get an early copy. Basically a youtuber should email the Sims GM to be able to be part of Game Changers Program. another thing that I don't like is that the publisher(EA) focuses on Youtubers so much that in The Sims they are forgetting that there are more into it. It resulted into pr backlash during the launch of City Living. A lot of fans that are always invited to SimCamp are been removed from the list because they aren't youtubers. So Yep, that's the Game Changer Program, a way to engage players through having sponsored videos on youtubers that plays their content.
@TS1299 - It's not just YouTubers that get early access. There are streamers and I've seen a few that don't do YouTube receive codes too. And I highly doubt that the Game Changers Program is the result as to why LGR didn't get an early access. In anything, when you partner with a company, you have to sign Ts&Cs. I watched a video of his a bit ago in which he said that he didn't want to sign the Ts&Cs; it's probably as simple as that.
Sorry I didn't clarify. LGT not getting review is the result of Game Changers. Before the Game Changers Program hita the Franchise, He was getting free copies of the game, it was the choice of the developers. He didin't had to sign anything. He just bein given free copies. However the emphasis on Game Changers Program by EA on this Franchise begam with Cats and Dogs. With this new rule, A streamer/youtuber will have tp ask the gm if they wanted to recueve early access, that
is where they sign. LGR don't want that signing things then recieving benifits.
As for me I think all the Content Creators who does videos had a chance for these events. I remember when rhey launch The Sims 3 where the Creatirs Camp also includes Modders, Builders, Storytellers, etc that dosen't do videos.
