Why is FG allowing this? I don't understand.He just spoils everything in advance

It can, positively. And that's the point.

Regardless of what anyone here thinks of pewdie, he has a huge following. It will get more people to buy the game.

I don't like let's plays in general, especially not his. But I can appreciate how they help create buzz for smaller indie releases.

When the game comes out, imagine getting on the computer and installing the game....but it's like 4pm and you have to wait untill 1:00am to play it at it's maximum potential. How would you guys deal with this situation? Could you resist the temptation? Not even I would be able to make up my mind if this happens.

I'd call Mr. Burns.

Not really. Most of PDP's follower just will not understand a game and its story. And i've read many comments like "waiting for another parts, i'm not gonna buy this game cuz it's scary, but i will watch your vids, u are so funny!"

He could have played the game after the release that would have been fine. But what marketing is to let it to get spoiled in advance?

Quite.

I'm not against him showing the first 15 minutes or so of gameplay, but if (and it's a big IF!) he's uploading an LP of the whole game leading up to the game's release then I have to seriously question Frictional's decision in allowing this. Marketing the game is understandable, but allowing one person to upload an LP of the whole game leading up to its release?

Let's hope that the latter is not the case.
