He really seems to care about the game and he is one of the more popular reviewers out there. He could even be a great game changer if he wanted to. I think EA just doesn't like him because he's so outspoken. What do you think?Here is his latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyvlM50Q9WE

From what I understand he did get the codes for a while, but he opted out as he wanted to be free to say what he wanted and not have to feel like he had to pander I guess to EA.

I think he got the codes until the Game Changer program started, but he’d never expected them.I think the thing was that if he were to get codes he’d be expected to make other content instead of just the reviews or occasional play video, and I don’t think he wants to do that.

He said he opted out of the game changer program. They offered him a spot and he said no. He was worried it make him too biased. He mentioned it on Twitter a while back when asked about the program.

Clint already said he didn't want to be a game changer. Didn't interest him, since EA doesn't just send out codes to who they want since they went in the direction of having the program.So, there's not some weird vendetta against him? Not sure why some throw that out there as people can buy packs not even based on someone's opinion with a review. And Clint was buying sims packs for a long time even with S3 that weren't given to him. Still not sure why it's a big deal if it's given to him for free or not?His review wasn't really as deep as Carl's and he missed some things a pretty so-so review for the most part just covering some of the more more notable features. I only watch it for the humor but it was pretty 'eh' for the most part.

Oh okay that makes sense. That's a pity that the game changers program works this way. It just blocks out people like LGR. I really thought the game changers program was great 'till I realized how game changers really dominate Sims 4 kinds of videos. LGR might be one of the few whose opinion is heard without being a game changer. Since he also plays a lot of other stuff and knows a lot about gaming history his opinion is one I respect a lot 'cause it's not as biased.

Why did EA stop sending Lazy Game Reviews Expansion Pack codes?

Well a review of the game is not necessarily an overview. He doesn't need to list every single feature of the pack. It's about an opinion really.

Didn't say he had to list every single feature in the game, but there were some I found could have been mentioned as a lot of his previous ones use to cover quite a lot, but that's just my opinion. *shrugs*

Surprised he didn't mention the throw back to the first sims games with the random chance phone calls and furniture. Thought that would have been something that interested him.

If you watch his video here near the end he talks a little as to why he decided not to be a gamechanger for reasons already mentioned here, which if you ask me, is pretty respectable. Its a few years old, but no less relevant.

This is such a great video and I fully understand what he's trying to get across. Maybe it also helps that I played all previous installments
