Could someone summarize and save me giving an irate youtuber a view? Not the content I think there needs to be more of.

Bethesda has decided to not send out early code for review for all future games.  I think they're sending it out one day ahead, which likely means reviewers be getting the same copy as consumers.  Gaming media is going rage-mode.

So youtubers will have to buy their own copies now and play them at the same time as everyone else? Damn, that's so unfair.

I guess it means reviews for games will be a bit later than normal, but as other people have said here, a lot of companies are now offering refund policies where games are just broken or not as advertised as we seen with NMS recently, I'm fine with this as long as it is all reviewers and not just giving copies to reviewers who generally give them higher scores if you get me.
