Game companies prioritize content creators while paying customers are forced to wait. People who preorder have already financially supported the company, yet they're treated as less important than streamers who not only got the game for free but also profit from their early access. It floods the internet with spoilers (not such a big deal with MH:W but can be with other games), and it reduces overall excitement for actual players, as you've seen with posts in this thread and many others like it on steam, reddit, etc..
If companies want to reward creators and utilize them for marketing, they should do so without making paying customers feel like an afterthought. It would feel more fair to give preorder customers early or simultaneous access.
All that being said though, life's not fair, so it is what it is and we're all here killing time until launch.
Fair enough. I'll break 'job' down to it's definition instead:
a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price
And some of the larger streamers are expending large amounts of energy to be good at both the games they play, and be amusing on the mic.
I used to stream; Talking, being personally entertaining, and playing a game are difficult to do all at the same time. It takes focus and energy.
And not every streamer is waking up 'after 3 hours of sleep'.
Not to mention, if one wants to stay HEALTHY and be a streamer; They need to make up for the 4+ hours of sitting on their arse per stream by exercising more than a less sedentary person.

Sorry to soapbox but it pisses me off when someone says '<x> is not a REAL job!' or <x> is not hard to do!'
I heard this garbage when I worked food service: "That's not a REAL job! When will you get a REAL job?"
About 5 minutes after everyone stops gobbling down Bic Macs. Until then; You want a burger flipper, so stop belittling them.
When I worked at a gas mart: "That's not a REAL job!"
Then stop driving a car. Until people learn to walk everywhere again; You need gas stations and people to run them.
And when I streamed: "That is not hard! It's not a REAL job!"
Then go get 100+ viewers and at least a quarter of them should be subbed to you, without the investment of time, energy, and money serious streamers put in to have good gear.
Sure, any schmuck can start streaming. But if if said schmuck has the personality of wet cardboard, his mic crackles, and his PC can only run the streaming software + the game at 480p; Not many people are going to watch them.
I just fregging hate when people belittle a job choice, or cry about job perks.
If someone does not like that streamers get games early? Don't watch them. Simple as.
If someone wants games early? Invest in becoming a streamer.

I wish I had the game early. I don't.
So I'm watching Mythbusters episodes all day today.
reasonably expressed exactly how it felt seeing that twitch front page haha preach brother. think its best i get off this discussions, aint nothing left to see here. see you tommrow :))
The best thing you can do is what OP stated, unsub/don't watch.
Why do you people think Logan Paul hasn't gone away? Because there are still many fools that still watch and care what he does. Ignore him and he goes away.
That's how business works. If you haven't realized that by now then I dunno what to tell ya. Is it lame AF that streamers get not only a free copy of the most expensive version of the game, but early access on top of their review code over paying customers? Yeah it does. But it's a net positive for Capcom to give it to them because of just how many people are gonna see the strummers playing and be like "This looks like fun! I wanna play!" and buys the game themselves.
Of course I feel there should be like a "review window" of sorts for streamers/youtubers where like the servers come online for a period of two or three days to do reviews and collect footage for said reviews, then once that time period is up if you didn't get your review done then /shrug oh well buddy better luck next game now you gotta wait until launch like the rest of us kind of thing. Because like I get giving the "influencers" free access to the game for their reviews and stuff, but people's reviews are already out now they're just playing it because they can. I mean granted it's probably also written in their contract that they have to play it on launch day for x amount of hours, but still.
People care for the same reason low class people support capitalism... Everyone thinks they are going to be the one on top. If you take that away from them they get upset. Without a technical chance to win the lottery the whole facade falls apart.
Honestly in a game like this I personally don't see a reason to care that much unless you're trying to do a 'world first' or something. But people want to at least entertain the idea that it could be them or at least they can think 'i'm one of the first to do x or have y'. In competitive games it makes more sense to me and I'm one of the people who want's to be first in (fighting games for example. You don't want others getting upwards of days to practice before you get a chance).
And I think mostly it's just annoying to people. They see it as unjust. Most of us work jobs we more than hate and are resentful for having to do and on top of that we have to spend what little money we earn doing it on overpriced and un-optimised games to relax after. Meanwhile people who are going to get paid for playing the game anyways also don't have to buy it AND get to play it several days early.
To me it's no more unjust than the rest of our society but it makes perfect sense why people are upset. It's perfectly normal to be jealous in an unjust society.
It's ok, I'm in a soapbox-y mood too, being bored waiting for this game xD.
The definition(s) of job are extremely vague and numerous. It would be more fruitful to consider how much effort is involved (deliberately not using the word 'work' as it is similarly vague). I will attempt to argue that streaming is much less effort than most people exert at even the lowest paying/easiest traditional jobs (what most people in western society think of when you say job - wage labour/owning a business/speculating/etc.), however I feel it is important to point out that we do not live in a society that rewards hard work. Hard work is sometimes rewarded but not always. Similarly, small amounts of work sometimes are extremely rewarding. Two people can do the same amount of work and one person can make billions while the other gets nothing. Capitalism rewards specific skills and actions and there are many elements of luck involved.
You say they spend a large amount of energy, which I agree is true in some sense, but a more important question imo is whether or not it's more effort to work even the lowest paying/easiest jobs. I'm surprised at your stance considering you clearly have had a decent amount of experience with these kinds of work, I'm in the same boat. To me it's easy to see the unjust nature of the whole situation... Most of us go to underpaying jobs we resent only to spend our pittance on overpriced and un-optimized games meanwhile people who are going to make way more money than we ever will for just playing the same game ALSO get it for free AND several days early. You really don't see how that makes people upset?
I only chose to use the 3 hours of sleep thing to try to exemplify the discipline one has to exercise sometimes when one has responsibilities or arrangements. We've all gone to work after 3 hours of sleep after a bender xD. I'm just trying to say having a schedule is not as big of a deal when your doing something enjoyable. I might schedule a christmas dinner party but that doesn't mean it's hard work to show up for it.
I agree all your examples are indeed 'real jobs'. It's too bad we live in a society that thinks working full time at those kinds of jobs is not even valuable enough to pay rent at dehumanising apartment or eat decent quality food. It's not fair that some kid can play call of duty all day and get endless donations while real people are out there struggling working 'real jobs'. Or that some guy gets more than a years salary of minimum wage for shilling raid shadow legends for 2 minutes on his youtube video. It's just freaking not.
And lastly, the things you listed for successful streaming, I would argue, are not a lot of effort, but rather a combination of luck, personality (luck), and financial investment (which could be argued as work In some sense but is more complicated than that because you are INVESTING in order to make even more money, as well as other reasons.)
pffffft. What else r u going to do all day while waiting for wilds?
that said, yeah i think its stupid to allow streamer having a early access while the millions of fans had to wait. its should not be a thing
it is how it is. its really not a big deal.
If it's advertising to people that do not have it so why those who have must wait?
I can't even play it at release because I will be at work, I can play now, it's perfect time actually but I can't because I don't have streamer privilages.
