1. "I want to request a copy of a video game from PR, but I'm not entirely sure how to interact with them / who to reach out to."
Great. Hopefully this thread helps.
Here's a hot-take:
The people that bash on mobile gaming are an offshoot of toxic masculinity. They get off on hating something that they've traditionally associated with a heavily female audience.
Streamers/Influencers:
You're unwittingly hurting yourself by calling yourself a variety streamer.
What you think it means: "I play games other than Fortnite/Apex"
What it means to PR/CMs: "Streamer hasn't found their audience yet, and isn't consistent with what they play."
