I cant wait for the F1 2017 Game, Can I have the game I pre-ordered for my YouTube Channel Please?

Recommended Posts

Hey Codemasters there is no doubt that certain YouTubers have the game early as always and it is so annoying, because I have a YouTube Channel could it be possible if I get the Game Early please Codemasters? 

I need footage for my Fans on YouTube?

I'm sure your 4 subscribers will get over the fact that they have to wait for a few more days before they get some footage from you.

(Of all the blatant attempts to get free stuff.)

From my point of view it is not fair at all that some people have already the game. If the release day is 25th of August then it should be the same for anyone. I also have a channel on Youtube. I can understand that I can't compare with the 'Big Guys'  who have thousands of subscribers, but in this way they will be bigger and bigger and the rest of us will work hard just to obtain some views. on the other hand, I am also excited about the new game so I would like to have the game earlier. If Codemasters want to promote their brand new game, they should do it by themselves, not giving stupid rights for some special persons.

It's a difficult balance for them, to be fair. They're not a big company with a huge marketing budget, so they have to be creative with their advertising, and getting prominent YouTubers to generate some of the hype for them is cost efficient. Likewise, most of the F1 teams have been plugging the game on Twitter -- a cheap way to raise awareness of the game among far more F1 fans than follow Codemasters themselves.

I agree it would probablyy be nice if they gave out a few more copies to up-and-coming YouTubers and Twitchers as well as the Big Names. Trouble is, there are an order of magnitude more F1 video makers with a few hundred subscribers than there are with tens of thousands, so how do you choose among those without annoying a *lot* more people than they annoy now?

it annoys me also year after year they release footage weeks before anybody else has a chance to, im not bothered by a day or 2 early but the fact they get copies so early i presume from codies themselves is annoying (although i do understand the marketing for codies to do this)

Or you can just chill and just accept that this is how it works.... be patient, within 3 days you're playing anyway... and you'll be up to speed soon enough.
