I do. Its how it works best and keeps it at least as CLOSE as it can be in a world where not all things are equal.
The only person I know that always buys a game even if they get a code is @JeremyPenter and pretty sure he does giveaways for them as well

God damn
MY GOD. What a match made in heaven man.

Twitch Streamers and Video Creators:
@thegameawards prep is happening now. Brands are building lists and campaigns. Agencies are spinning up emails to send holiday gifts, and next year, a metric ton of games will hit in early January.
Mid-size studios have smaller inboxes, real budgets and love when creators lean in. Stop focusing on just AAA.
They want creators who fit. Who are you trying to reach? 👇
It happens no ones owed a code. Just lately with a few companies the constant reach outs and saying things ARE set up to then disappear is weird. Not the first time wont be the last. I had a backup anyway.
That feels like a very fair number
Content creators...most of them are on their own. I would say three-quarters of global creators have no help. No editors, no resources, no support for the amount of content they put out.
For larger creators with those resources, their blockers are often ideation, time, and contacts. Just trying to keep it all afloat is far more demanding than people realize, and you are far less free to pivot and experiment.
For both parties, managing it all is rewarding and challenging, and I commend the folks doing their best to help bring sanity and help to this work.
From @SchviftyFive's work with Starside to help them bridge those very difficult gaps to brands and @TheTrueVanguard bringing the genuinely valuable level of stability to community and content management for creators with Hot Drop, I am inspired to see these efforts and it's helped me align with what I want to focus on too.
There is no shortage of companies and "agencies" who claim to work with creators, but they are no more than glorified content farmers chasing cheap videos, throwing them in ads and selling products. It works for some folks, don't get me wrong, but it's not what I set out to work on. There is far more value to what you bring to the table and that is where my mind will remain. Be it UGC or just making dope videos and streams.
