Rly?
What purpose does those press/creators coppies serve then? O_o

I mean ...
DId i get something wrong, or is ti basicaly:
"Hey! Here is your early coppy of the game, so you can tell people how much you love it ... but remember, dont you dare talking about it!" O_o

Kinda weird isnt it?

Because every reviewer wants to publish theirs first. Embargo gives everyone enough time to actually play the game, and prevent half baked reviews.
Not with a game of this size. BG3 is 75 hours of story for one play through. To comment on it properly you need a run for each spectrum good evil, lawful, and chaotic. That at minimum is 2 runs which is 150 hours.

We have 4 days left, 5 if it went out on the 28th as it would take 6 hours to download the 158gb. Even if you played 12 hours a day for 4 days, you would be at 50/75 hours. We would get no feedback on act 3, which would have a million issues like dos2. Assuming they actually play it and not copy ideas of some small creator no one knows 1:1 with plagiarism
