Give Yamiks an Alpha key!

[The Roofus]

Yes because a job interview and a funny youtube vid is the same..

Is if you're applying for a free key

There's also an onus on people not to take everything as some personal offence and an indicator as hatred for a whole group of people.

Not really mate, the onus is on people not to use offensive and demeaning language because they're not funny enough to get a laugh without it.

It's not about permission, nor is the implication that if any of us, or enough of us think they should, that they would then be somehow obliged to.

Frontier have every right to choose to decline, whether it be correct or incorrect to do so in the context being discussed, or in the opinion of their customers.

My view is that enough of Frontier's customers value Yamik's content that it would have been a better business decision to include him in the distribution list.
Failing that, I think they should have been more direct with him about the reason for declining, instead of giving the insulting and dishonest response they did.

Ask any politician how far their career will go by being direct. People always demand it but rarely like it if they get it

Think harder about that one

I gave it all the brainpower it deserved.

This is true. But compared to the actual response they gave, directness still would have worked out better for them.
Perhaps giving no response would have been better still, but that also reflects poorly on their communication.

Sure

why on earth should beer taste "fruity"?

Maybe it's like with youtube channels. I love lambics despite the controversy!

I was trying to get to to my brain as fast as possible. Leffe is excellent when it gets there.

Look how unstuck those politicians become when they first announce something as a truth and it later transpires to be a lie.

Read my lips. No More Alpha Keys.

I did not have Alpha relations with that woman.

I have in my hand, an Alpha Key that means peace between our two nations.

People remember that stuff. It sticks, like a bad smell.

I'm a good boy now and indulge in only cigarettes and coffee.

My good friend, may I introduce to you vodka?

You're about 38 years too late. I'm 53.

This post goes smoothly with my post above about what is readily available in the Netherlands.

Can those wishing to discuss the benefits of various libations, please do it in the off-topic forum, rather on this topic?

Cheers!

Sorry sir. Promise it won't happen again.

Can I get a review key though?

I managed to give up cigarettes first and vaping afterwards (it was actually harder to quit vaping, even though I smoked 4 times longer) , but steer clear of my coffee!

 

[Ian Skippy]

I gave up cigarettes 15 years ago - so now I have some resources free for [redacted].

It's okay, you can type 'EDO alpha key'.

 

[znôrt]

It's okay, you can type 'EDO alpha key'.

not sure if that couldn't be considered harassment, basking about alpha keys on the very thread about someone being denied a sparkling core content creator alpha key and forced to use a lousy regular preorder alpha key.

what an insensitive lot!

I just watched a Yamiks YT vid this morning where he advised he received an official response from FD, turning him down when he requested an Alpha key to review Odyssey for his subscribers. Apparently they have limited Alpha keys reserved for their “ core content creators and the press”. He has 101k subscribers and is one of “THE” core content providers! He is not the largest but certainly in the top group. If this doesn’t send up a red flag about FD’s possible lack of confidence in their product I don’t know what does. Give the man a key! Yes he is more critical about the game than other creators but balanced reporting should be promoted.

So now we apparently have the real reason why they didn't give him the key, what is your take now?
