So they are paying youtubers to say nice things about the game now?

[Spindles]

Youtubers who were paid to be nice about Prey (not counting people who don't disclose it)

Bethesda paid these people to play and be nice about the game:

Thigns to expect to hear when someone pays you to play their game: "wow" "this is amazing" "so much fun" "could this be better than half life??"

Check the description text below the video for their disclosure about being paid (since it's the law and all).

It's harder to find a video they didn't pay for than one that they did.

Pretty much every major youtuber that has made a video has been paid to be nice about it. Whether you think that's good or bad is upto you but it's better to know what they are upto and know the positivity is paid positivity. You are not going to get legit coverage of this game from most people.

They are pretty much paying everyone that will take the money right now, so don't expect many youtubers to not say nice things about it. Heck, maybe they will even tell you it's the next half life!

You guys are aware that radbrad is playing the console demo right? even says so in the beginning of his video, DEMO.

He also clearly says he was paid to play it, he was gushing about getting a big payout. Sponsored = lots of money to play the game, and say nice things. WOW!

They don't pay the youtubers. They send them a free copy ahead of time because at the cost of a game license, they get free publicity to quite a large group of people now days.

If a bunch of youtuber's are calling the game good, then it might just be good. Ever think of that? Or does having fun and not being negative about everything automatically mean you're a shill now days?

A sponsored video means the devs sponsored THE GAME. In other words a free copy. Not a paycheck.

However is someone is being paid for it. Im sure they are full of it.

[gamertaboo]

Ok but being sponsored to play and getting paid is different then getting an early review copy. Not every youtuber who gets an early review copy is being sponsored to play the game.

Wow. You are an idiot. A sponsored video means the devs sponsored THE GAME. In other words a free copy. Not a paycheck.

So is there any disclosure on these YouTube videos you're saying exist to indicate that Bethesda is paying the personality for the videos?

[Nate Mc Bow]

Seriously. Should i take the word of an apparant new arrival on the steam forums with a private profile over a few Youtubers?

You do realize you are using videos from a youtuber who according to you is probably being bribed as well for all we know? Why isnt totalbiscuit also "On the take"?

He says at the start of the video and is really happy about it, plus he says it's sponsored in the text below it. As it's the law and he has to.

I don't blame him for doing it, but it shows they are afraid it's going to flop and they are offering money for YAY PREY!

[Nate Mc Bow]

You start this thread with some mess that Youtubers are being bribed to give good outlooks and reviews. And you use other Youtubers as proof of this?

If you cant disclose some solid evidence you are nothing but a troll and a conspiracy theorist in the wrong place.

[Coldhands]

I mean, unless there's actual evidence that people are posting videos of Prey on YouTube, and getting paid by Bethesda for it, this is all just speculation.

And either way ... who the hell cares? There's a demo you can go play, there will be reviews, there will be tons of streams and videos from people very much NOT getting paid. Within a few days of the game launching you'll have all the information you need to make an informed purchase, and none of these conspiracies the OP is theorizing about will actually be able to effect you. And even if you do somehow buy Prey without knowing anything about it and then it ends up sucking, Steam has a refund policy.

These kinds of topics just come off like petty smear campaigns. Looks how horrible this publisher is! They're trying to trick you! This game must suck because they're totally paying people to say good things about it!
None of that matters. We don't need other people's opinions of Prey to make a smart buying choices here. All we need is a little common sense.

Pretty sure Spindle beleives that everyone on the internet is being paid for the good outlook so far. Hey ill just go make a video myself and get paid for it!

That's ok, you're job is to help me bump the thread to the top.

Does it? Because they put out a demo, for everybody with a PS4 or an Xbox One to play. Why would they do that if they were afraid it was going to flop? Did they think the Skyrim remaster was going to flop? Because they did this then too.

I don't know; I'd think that the last thing a publisher looking to throw a glamour over a weak product would want to do is put out a demo anywhere. Not to mention, even if You MacTuberson there is saying purely nice things about Prey, you're still watching him play the actual game. You can still see what this thing looks like and if it seems good or bad.

But like I said before, it ultimately doesn't matter. Bethesda can't hide Prey once it comes out. Nobody is going to get the wool pulled over their eyes who doesn't choose to.
