"How are they going to make it as the next PewDipShit if they don't stream one hour earlier than the other million of dipshits, just like other thousands of hogs who also payed that extra"
This is why I'm amazed some company hasn't decided to make a sliding scale cost-based release window.
Want to be the first to make your video on the game? Pay us $400 and you can have it 2 weeks early. $1000 and you can have it a month in advance.
Don't let them release any video until the general embargo lifts, but pit them against each other for a volume of videos they could release.
It feels inevitable since x-day early release models are getting more and more popular, and the logical hellworld conclusion is to pit the aspiring hellworld content creators against each other in an access battle.
I think it would be too much management work for the big studios, while you can easily embed into the marketing a premium window to start where you sell
the privilege to access the game faster depending on which ultimate/premium edition of the game you buy (which they do today, see Diablo 4 for example), and the gamers eat that slop, millions of them do it, and the studio dont have to manage an embargo, and content creators as a whole
Payday 3 had silver and gold editions that had a release date 3 days prior to the general public.
