Youtube campaign sucks
I really can't stand it when dozens of youtubers get the game to play to promote it and I can't play it. All my fav youtubers have it and its on basically every channel I watch.

But i can't play.

I understand its marketing but that doesn't make me less frustrated. I really want to play this game. It's apparently Steams most wishlisted game. So why does it need to be restricted to youtubers?

A lot of games do this and I'm at the point where I want to boycott games for doing this. At least until their first sale.

I have the same feeling. And guess what?? Most of the youtubers are finishing the game already and I watch a whole season online and now im BORED.

not wrong because I think same too.
this be first time I can see campaign promotion like this. I mean why not like 3/4 day before release that point good to people dedicated to brought this one maybe after seeing some reviews on Youtube. (So people can have experience self)

I really love this one because that I won't open any video about manor lords. But I hope range price not so far after all this

My only gripe is having others play it TWO Weeks early. That doesn't happen. It's never that early. We essentially have to spend next week ignoring all the content we are going to get bombarded with. I still feel they should just release it a week earlier. We are all getting the same version the streamers already have anyway
And the most comical part is that, apparently, if you pay attention, unless I'm wrong, some of these youTubers\twitchers would already be playing days\week before the day before the embargo was lifted, which still makes this situation a even more embarrassing, that is, there are two weeks of advertising, but many of them have already been playing for 3\4 weeks, in fact, many of them even enjoy the factor of obtaining 100% achievements and the "game hasn't even come out" xD lol.

100% this. Don't really care that CC get it early as it's the norm and don't see much of an issue with it, but two weeks early feels more like a slap in the face and a very weird decision by the dev.

I can only guess the dev did this to build hype and give CC enough time to play the game multiple times and make a bunch of guides/tutorials on everything.

they're already posting beginner guide for the game, like bro, wtf? lol

I agree. Seeing lets plays everywhere two weeks before release is just annoying. If others can already play it, why do customers who pay money have to wait another two weeks?

can you read? they said they didn't watch any. And I share the same sentiment, Im tired of seeing recommended videos on my feed of the game that isn't out for 2 weeks.

I get why you guys feel annoyed. But if you watch that stuff and then complain that you are "spoilered", that is stupid.

DONT WATCH IT. Its just 14 more days, go do something else. Nobody force you to sit down and watch it, dont spoiler yourself and you got no problems.

So boycott it then and stop moaning
Agreed. It's all over my feed, and I basically need to keep my head in the sand for the next two weeks. It feels particularly sour remembering how much of a pleb I am.

On the upside, I guess it'll make it that much sweeter when we're the lords and the peasants are serving us in two weeks?

This isn't feedback. It's simply being a titty baby because you can't play. Nothings going to change. There not going to suddenly change their release date because some spoiled kid on Steam is going to boycott games.. OH NO's!!! What will the gaming industry ever do!!?!?! THE HUMANITY!!! lol... Here's some feedback. Become a streamer, gain a following and have something to offer. Streamers get it because they reach thousands of people. You don't because you cry on steam and no one cares. You want free games? Work for it like the streamers do and have something to offer.
