How do you, as a consumer, feel about certain streamers and other people getting early access to Sekiro (or any other video game)?

[Lovoskea]

A lot of players are waiting for the game to come out whilst certain streamers and other people are already playing it. Sure, it's just an extra day we'll have to wait and it is definitely not the end of the world. However, as a consumer, how do you feel about others getting early access to a product that you are forced to wait for?

[oopsman]

i think its lame, if its ready, let me play

[SkyofRunes]

Well to be fair other people accessing the game earlier lends to them being able to review the game before you spend your hard earned money on it. I mean everyone here may have preordered but it doesn't detract from the point I'm trying to make.

[paganSK]

i dont care.
I dont watch any stream.

[reezey 🤠👌]

Depends on the streamer. For most cases its fine, you can just not watch them.

But then you have absolute trash tier youtubers like Shirrako and Zanar Aesthetics who instantly upload endgame spoilers as soon as the embargo is lifted. RDR2 day of release "John visits Arthurs grave", DMC5 the day BEFORE the game comes out Final boss battle vs Vergil! ALL VERGIL CUTSCENES! hate these type of scum

You can also just avoid YouTube and other sites if you're worried about spoilers. I do it with every major game. It's not difficult, just requires a modicum of self discipline

Ok, congrats on missing the whole point. Thanks for the input

They need to end this practise. I dont f care if you are reviewer or streamer. The game should be not shown to a public until everyone gets it on release date. End of story I dont even mention here the spoilers.

So that nobody would be able to buy the game on release date with the good feeling of their (reputable) journo or streamer of choice being able to recommend the product?

Not being spoiled is a choice the to be spoiled makes, not the spoiling.

[Hildegard]

I hate that, those streamers i mean can assure that they did not even pay for the game, they always recive it for free, I have it in pre purchase since December and I feel that it is not fair.
PS: I hate Activision.

[Weaver]

I don't really care though I'm surprised at how small some streamers / youtubers are that got the full treatment. Like this one youtuber I casually follow gets maybe 10k views a video and she got sent the full collectors edition for free and is already playing it on her channel. I mean power to her, fine by me, but I'm surprised Activision would do that for such small exposure numbers.

Personally I don't plan on buying this game at launch. I want to get the community opinion on it first before I commit.

I hate it and it makes them paid advertisers.

It does, but it's FS's IP and they can do what the ♥♥♥♥ they want to do with it. Life isn't 'fair' . Get used to it/

Never said it wasn't fair and neither did i say that From Software is not allowed to do this. I said i hate it. I never specified the reason why i hate it though.

Reading comprehension mate. Learn it.

I feel nothing.

believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
