So, DF got a code, but not Eurogamer. That's suspicious.

That's really weird as Eurogamer is one of the biggest xbox shills.

Not weird or suspicious, they probably thought EG would score it a 4/5 stars which is an 80 on Metacritic. They want the day one Metacritic numbers to be as fluffed up as possible, an 80 could tank the score out of the "must play" region. Microsoft being garbage as usual

Wow it's not just Eurogamer, several other major publications haven't received codes either They're trying their best to get that 90+ Meta, by any means necessary.

Blocking media outlets from reporting dismal sales, handpicking who gets to review their flagship game. How classy.

And DF was told not to share its code. What a shit company MS is.

You have no shame to accept these conditions.
Eurogamer is a single entity.
DF is just a team inside Eurogamer.

A: Are they trying to punish the uk because of the Cma and its decision, if so that is pretty fucking pathetic of Microsoft? I really hope not.

B: Are they only providing copies to people that would give them good reviews, I really hope not.

C: If I was confident in my product i would ship it out to everyone, i find this very strange behavior.

Looks at the last games they shipped...

They are not that confident.

It's just so strange, if the product is good, then wanting more exposure seems like the smart thing to do, This is counterproductive on so many levels.

So jez corden, Tom warren, parris, xbox era and all the usual xbox bootlickers got a code and Eurogamer, metro, the guardian and edge no? . Microsoft cant be more transparent
