What the heck. I dread to imagine my game being handled like that by PR. What a way to set up negative first impressions.

I understand the very real need to filter out bad actors angling for freebies, or people redeeming something just because it's there. But I do think there needs to be a distinction on the backend between "fresh contact from random person" and "someone we're deliberately targeting" :/

Oh so this DOES happen to other writers and not just youtubers

I remember the days where they had to physically ship review copies... I got a couple from Atlus. At the time I ran a very small website dedicated to budget games (and they were very much non-budget titles). I don't recall signing up for them either.

Now companies hem and haw over a dang steam key?

I imagine the number of "content creators" these days is astronomical :/

I suppose, but you aren't the one soliciting from them, it's the other way around...

Unless their PR team just indiscriminately adds every reviewer they can to an email list, which isn't a very flattering look for them either.
