I think that's right, too polite initially, and why they did it now.
Give Yamiks an Alpha key!

I can't believe they even tried to say the keys are limited though.
Given he can just buy one, its not like they're blocking his account.. so its pretty funny. All this fuss because someone in frontier marketing has their knickers in a knot inside their own head. Frontier just lost a whole bunch of credibility on their marketing side as well. We can see what's going on.. anyone with a free key is now suspect of at least whitewashing any problems.

They would have looked much better issuing that second statement from the start. Be trending over that. Not take 2 goes at it. Rally, this is poor work by them. Yes the upshot is they're trending on Twitter (sad sounding yay) but they have proper bumbled this.
Give him that message first, give it to him publicly, give it to him hard, if that is your (FD's) beliefs.
this is what the 2nd message says, let's wait and see how that floats! personally i find that to be a gross exaggeration which may backfire in comically ways too, but this overblown righteousness could also work to alienate their problem away. will see!
well, he plays his cards. it appears this isn't over yet ...
Frankly I could not envision that kind of outcry happening if Hardware Unboxing would've been some sort of potty humor tech review channel.
Even if Yamiks wasn't just someone that criticizes everything he can find about Elite, his toilet humour and 80iq fanbase already make him a poor choice for a representative of the game.
I see. So basically i would have had to sit through 7:20 of him complaining to get to the point?
You understand why i didn't get that far then?
Ok, so i gave him a chance, jumped to that part, and its the same idiotic stuff people are saying in the comments! I thought at least he would not make that argument, but now i see where the commenters are getting it from.
He's saying maybe FD are worried that there is something that they don't want him to see.
Dear gods, this is insane. Let me try once again.
He can buy it!
Or, if he really doesn't want to spend any money on it, he can look at the streams and videos of others and see what it has and critique those.
Unless... unless.... only Yamiks has a super secret power to seek out what it is FD are trying to hide from players! Anyone else playing it won't see what is the big problem with the release!
Nope, its just plain idiocy. There are going to be literally thousands, tens of thousands (maybe?) of people playing the alpha. There will be hundreds or thousands of people streaming it, reviewing it, complaining about it or praising it on the forums.
If there is something there that is so bad, like Yamiks is implying here, we will all know about it, and Yamiks will make a video about it whether he has a copy of it or not.
Regardless, with or without Yamiks, one thing is certain, the forums will be on fire with a range of topics!
But FD are playing 4D chess!
sigh
The key he requested is a pre-release key. You cant buy them. These are limited. By Valve, who runs Steam. They do this for all games. They basically say that if you want to give away more keys than they give you should just go into full Early Access mode. This is clearly documented by them. All actual game journalists know this.
He is upset because this means he is a simple pleb like all of us and he will miss all the big clicks leading up to the alpha launch. He is missing out on this because he isn't an actual game reviewer but a content creator who consistently acts like a dingleberry because that is what his base enjoys. Its a role he plays, for money. Which is fine, but then at least grow a pair and accept that if you constantly insult people you dont get to go to their birthday party. Most of us learn this in kindergarten. Consequences for your actions.
Its odd how the people with the loudest mouths are always the people who can take absolutely nothing back.
lol seriously.
Do you know who WILL use the free key? The streamers who aren't ED streamers. The Star Citizen ones who we know were contacted months ago and got the same access and freebies as the ones we know as ED streamers, for example. They will likely use their free key.
The ones we all know as ED streamers? They have preorders and/or LEP themselves, some on multiple accounts.
I'm not sure the conspiracy theories about whitewashing-for-free-keys really stack up in this case, or ever do
They lie to him and then later say they actually object on moral grounds. They're ok with lying though. Poor work from their PR/Comms team.
Well, you know that none of us playing the alpha will see the game as it is...
But conspiracy theories are meat and 2 veg to some...
They said exactly the same thing about the Ascendant suit a while ago where it only had a limited number, I'm starting to understand Yamik's now
Ehh, I think they were just being polite tbh. Like when your friend asks why he's not invited to the wedding; it's bad-form to just out and out tell him "Barry, it's because you smell of excrement"
It wouldn't have trended then. The problem Yammiks has is his act is old and predictable. The subconscious perception is he's going to be rude about EDO - that's what he does - but since it's not even out yet, that criticism is not fair.
I like the strategy.
Really, so when some chump twitch streamer with 15 followers gets one and yamicks doesnt. See the previous bribe box promo for precedents. There's a few people there who you've never heard of that got one.
Hang on i still havent finished watching the video yet,
Ever noticed how most elections are very even? The thin line between being rude or not is not well defined and it changes over time. The line is where there is something close to a 50/50 consensus and the line is fuzzy. Depending on who you are, you have different limits. That someone gets offended does not, strictly speaking, make them right, but this is probably not about Fdev being offended over the profanity, as much as it seems like somebody having a sore toe, when it comes to the management and strategy of the company. I think we should all get along and be nice, but that includes being able to take critique and accept a few hiccups from everybody else.
Go watch Yamiks Hyper Critical Review of ED. I bet you haven't done that yet. Maybe skip the opening scene where he beats a dead horse in an attempt to be inventive
Next in the video, is a beautiful (long) montage of the Milky Way we all love. He does wiggle his joystick along the way, but ask yourself if it really hurts you, or whether you actually get offended on somebody else's behalf.If you have a moral stance then I believe, whether I agree with that stance or not, that you should declare it from the start.
Now it looks like they have a moral stance but didn't want to 'make waves', so they told a porky. As it turns out, the porky didn't work.
Have the courage of your convictions and say what you mean. (FD, not you)
