Give Yamiks an Alpha key!

Unless fdev flat out ban him from the game and get YT to take down his channel a la nintendo style they cannot control who the audience decides they want to watch. I realize in Fdev land they like to redefine terminology to whatever they want but outside of fdev land core creator means "big name content creators". Not "content creators we the company deem necessary".
Well this is verging on pedantry, and what's a forum thread without a little pedantry? ;) but they said 'our core content creators' not 'your core content creators'

Fdev remain free to choose whomever they like to give their free alpha, viewers remain free to choose who to watch on youtube and Yamiks remains free to create content about Odyssey it just won't be on a free Alpha ticket.

I like a little Yamiks from time to time but it surprises me not one jot that he didn't make Fdevs list and whining about it does no-one any favours.
 
Given his content there's no guarantee those 101k people actually play the game any more.
Exactly, Yamiks is often very critical of both the game and FDev, and so it's a fair assumption that many of his followers share his views and are therefore unlikely to buy Odyssey anyway.

As I said in my earlier post, it's not uncommon for the industry to withhold keys from reviewers and content creators who they see as being excessively critical or as a bit of a wildcard.

From his video he agrees with that - he even says he asked if he was blacklisted and was told not (and has previously had freebies).

I think if they'd come clean and said he was too negative so they wouldn't be offering a freebie he would have understood. Though we'd probably have been viewing a different video about how that was also bad, so 🤷‍♀️
 
It appears they were quite polite to him.

Which is, you know, the complete opposite of his language about the devs.
This.

You can't act like he (supposedly) did and not expect this.

By the way, is there any video of him confronting a dev like has been mentioned here? It's one thing for someone to tell you he did but another thing entirely to see it yourself.

Yeah, I totally agree that FDev should be honest with Yamiks about the reason for not getting a key. But we'd still probably be having this lengthy discussion thread even if they had!

What's to come clean though really?

He didn't make their list that's not the same as being blacklisted and do they really have to justify to every influencer/content creator/free loader why they didn't make the list?
 
That is some salty, buttery goodness right there. 🙂
It's pretty spectacular.

Yamiks: insults game studio year after year.
Game studio: "we don't really care much about you."

If the developers can look at a prominent member of Our community. One who has a subscriber base of over 100K, 1/5th of the entire player base on all systems and say to that person in plain english "we don't care about you" what do you think that means for the rest of us? Because subconsciously that's really what this discussion is really about.
