    This has to be the one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Streaming a playthrough of an entire game online misses the whole point of a review. Nevermind spoiling the entire story and gameplay, no publisher on earth is going to let a reviewer with early access put the final boss battle in a review for instance. As someone else said, this is like saying the only way to review movies is to watch a stream of the reviewer reacting to the whole movie.

      Also the only way this would be used is for chids to make a supercut of eberytime a journalists they do t like dies in a game and then post that as evidence the review is meaningless and the author isn’t a Real Gamer.
