Anyway a Youtuber could get earlier access to show the Carrier?

I'm really considering buying the Carrier, however I really want to know what it is that I'm buying and how it'll operate. Is there anyway a certain famous DCS youtuber we all know could get an early version of the product before it releases and preview it?

I am sure we get more news soon as the planned release is in one month

I propose banning all ''youtubers'' and the people who can't wait for the list of current and planned features that accompanies EVERY DIGITAL PRODUCT EVER.

Yes. Wags will get SC and will make videos about it.

hahah, yeah. I dont even know what the/a "famous" Tuber is. If my Video doesn't start with, "Hey there, this is Wags from Eagle Dynamics ..." then it's either unimportant or self important.

If you want to see more info before purchasing, don't purchase until they release more info/videos. I'm sure they will soon.

I am a retired professor who has an undergrad in Business and a graduate degree in Business Ethics and it pains me to see willful ignorance in commerce. Is it really much to ask for a peak, a test drive, an example, a taste, or even a product review before buying. Here is a secret to our present frustrations: if it is one thing I learn about capitalism, is that it can not and will not best operate, for all concern, in the absence of competition. These are the cards we have been dealt. So act accordingly.

Famous YouTuber's of great renown are also attempting to earn money for themselves in the process. I bore witness to a famous YouTuber of great renown making a 15 minutes video on some screenshots in the newsletter. So, there are issues with where the balance of self interest competes with objectivity.

"Try before you buy" works with good and deep long life products. Software and a fickle market age generally doesn't survive first contact. Steam reviews are my favourite cesspit.

By famous YouTuber, I basically only mean Youtubers in the DCS community like Grim Reapers, Red Kite, MagzTV etc. They've done reviews before like on the F-14 and the F/A-18 before those planes were released so I don't see what's wrong

It’ll happen probably but as we’ve seen before with one your listed youtubers, asking doesn’t help in this case

Many of us did not like that either. Don't be surprised if there is not a wealth of warm reactions to your ask.

I really don't understand what the negative reactions are all for? Isn't it normal for some for some of them to receive a product so they can do a review of it beforehand? What's wrong if i simply asked if or not it would happen?

Jealousy.

Anyway the best is to wait a couple of days after release to watch the drama first, then to collect more reviews to reduce the average bias of opinions.

Yes. Wags will get SC and will make videos about it.

Only person who knows how to make videos thats videos should be seen....

Then there are couple others like Redkite that knows how to make tutorials right. And then finally the "1 minute tutorial" that should get big bonus, as it is just the right time one should spend to remind about procedures, in repeat....

Blah blah blah, nobody cares about your claimed business degrees. It's utterly irrelevant. They ALWAYS provide a list of features current and planned, just like with every other digital product on the planet. There will ALWAYS be multiple people jumping in to provide reviews. In conclusion, this thread is pointless, as is your indignant ''consumer advocacy''.

Click hungry youtubers are just as cancerous as the rest of social media.

You know what man, you have a serious attitude problem with everything and everyone.

 

I thought it was just with me and my beliefs, but you've really demonstrated it's pretty much against anyone that doesn't go along with what you want or think the way you do.

 

Youtubers getting early access is pretty much the standard in the video game community for the last several years and it's a legitimate question. Youtubers and consumers viewing the product early is a mutually beneficial relationship. They get what they want and we get what they want. It's BUSINESS, something you obviously don't know anything about.

 

You don't have to be rude to people about their claimed background either - you don't see us questioning whatever it was you did at the Lockheed Martin plant at Fort Worth. You could have been mopping the floor as a janitor for all we know.

Cylon, judging from his avatar pic and most of his comments, I wouldn't take him very seriously or even respond to anything he says.

YT as a platform is a mess and sadly most of people on there only cares about clicks and making money in a scummy way - so its easy to put "baddie" sticker on everybody that makes YT materials.

The thing is - DCS is not a money maker on YT, so thats one.

Our niche hobby can only benefit from more people presenting the content of DCS - thats two.

If somebody, especially our fellow flight simmer makes entertaining and informative videos on YT, likes it and (if VERY lucky) makes some pennies of it - I honestly cant see any issue, that's three.

If they should or not (and who) receive preview of the DCS products - no idea, this is for ED to decide. I can only speak for myself here - personally don't see the big issue.
