Are you a journalist who reviews a high profile game with a narrative focus that has moments where the gameplay and story go in directions you weren't expecting and hasn't been publicly shown?
Are you a journalist who has issues with sensitive topics related to the story and characters of a high profile game that you want to talk about but would spoil the game for players who haven't had a chance to play the game?
Are you a journalist who got the game four weeks before release and had an embargo lift one week before release?
Write/record your review in a professional way that doesn't spoil the game for players, and if there are issues you can't discuss broadly for whatever reason allude to there being problems with the game you'll go in depth with later and move on. And you know what? You now have another piece of work to bring in revenue and add to the discussion of the game!
Like, maybe I'll play the game and be like, "yeah I can see why some reviewers felt like they should have been able to talk about this," but I kind of doubt it. I don't want to be harsh by judging them but the complaints about the restrictions on what they can talk about before the game is out (after parts of it leaked) is rubbing me the wrong way...
