    I didnt think it could go up before 12:30 because of the embargo.

    Putting the video 2 hours before the pack releases just to get views before everyone else who respects the time is just disrespectful.

    How does he have it already? It's not out yet. Someone's one EA's pay roll. For that very reason I ain't watching it.

    Some of the you-tubers i guess get Review copies

    I know, I've seen LGR's videos, he too get's EA's packs for free to review but that isn't a reason to release a video 2 hours before time.

    He probably didn't want to release it days before and just waited for the release day itself. And sometimes its good to watch a review before you buy something :open_mouth: (not being a plum saying that btw)

    Maybe they got the time wrong, who knows.
    Hoping some day for some toddlers. But also dreading they'll never come. JK THEY ARE HERE!

    I don't think LGR put his review up yet. But like you said some got it early. I'm just ready to play lol

    Most YouTubers get a free copy for review purposes. But they're not supposed to upload the video until sometime after the release.

    That's my point. EA or him should take the video down and wait like everyone else.

    It looks pretty cool, not a ton of "stuff" for a stuff pack though just a few new gameplay objects

    I'm sure a youtuber who has to respect a contract or whatever they sign to get those, knows very well they can't do it. If it was minutes before, sure I'd cut him some slack but 2 hours? No.

    More than likely a time was specified when they were given early access to the DLC - unless his review was negative I doubt EA/Maxis will retract their partnership.

    My own 2 cents - I don't necessarily agree with YT video creators getting packs free. Primarily because they are doing so and expected to make said product look good regardless of their own personal opinion. I've noticed that a lot in regards to Maxis sponsored reviews compared to community discussion. If I want to get a clear view of a pack, I won't rely on a fan who got a freebie from the company I'll read the forums where paying customers come to share their opinions.

    I feel like EA might give him a warning like it's their one and only warning and to not upload the video so early next time.

    That's cause the embargo hasn't ended. He got it early.

    Sometimes their review copy expires and they still have to buy it if they want to keep it.
    (not saying it is always the case)

    I watch LGR because he reviews in a funny and unbiased way (imo), but I don't watch any other YouTube reviewers.
    I'm not into that because too many only do it to make money & expand social media base of "fans".
    In other words, too much is fake, and they are just out there trying to sell themselves for subscribers, for ad revenue/popularity.
    No thanks.
