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

Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't, but for this pack, I feel like he pretty much solidified all of my perceptions. I feel the same way about the theme that he does, like it's "meh". But I do see some good things in the pack, too. I also, like he does, question why it had to be an EP and not a GP or why trash isn't a thing with the industrial footprint.

Anyway, it was good to see his review. I'll probably continue to let this pack pass by.

This was the first time I'd bought an expansion without watching the review. I'm oddly relieved he more or less gave it a B-. :D

My basic understanding is it is because he refused to sign up to their game changer program. Since they can't dictate/control his content, they are not willing to give a early access code. I am hearing some very negative information about their requirements of game changers recently as well.

Yeah it is harsher in time constraints now, so some game changers are leaving the program because of inequality even in the game changer program. So I don't blame anyone not wanting to be in the program and venturing to other games. I do love his Goodwill shopping videos.

He doesnt hold back on his criticism of the packs nor kiss ass. He doesnt sugar coat anything and if he feels like the pack is worthy or not he will say so. He talks about gameplay instead gushing over every cas or decor item. They only want to hear positive reviews just to help sales and lgr doesnt do that just be in the good graces of a company.

He declined to be a game changer, and therefore cannot receive free packs.

Yes the CAS and Build Buy mode thing is something that really bothers me. It seems very popular GCs like lilsimsie only care about the buy mode stuff. She will literally watch a trailer and be like oh I like that item! oh I want that one! and fully ignore every gameplay aspect lol. And all those build challenges with every game changer jumping on the train. The Sims ain't no build simulator.
I mean you can play the game however you want it's your choice, it's the sims afterall but she reviews the packs depending on how many objects from the pack she uses which I find weird for a game changer.

Because he’s honest, and not afraid to tell the truth and give his real opinion.

Either he decided not to sacrifice that for free game codes, or EA are too afraid be truthfully reviewed.

I’m not buying anything to do with the sims until LGR reviews it. I might buy a pack if he slams it, I might not buy a pack even if he loves it, but I know he’ll give a non-biased and real review of the pack. Also, I’m way more influenced by someone’s scathing criticism than the glowy stuff - if they rip it apart but I’m still interested, I’m probably entering my card details before the video ends.

Plus, it’s refreshing to see someone criticise the Sims 4 and EA, it means they’re more invested in the franchise than in making a quick buck by being a Gamechanger. I will say that I have a lot of respect for Plumbella too, for somehow managing to do both.

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.

Really I've never heard of that

He said this in one of his videos.
