But according to Jack, this wasn’t the case for The Callisto Protocol. “First of all, they weren’t giving out codes until the game was released and they weren’t allowing reviews until the game was released, which are two major red flags immediately,said the Irish gaming sensation on YouTube.

Jacksepticeye emphasized that usually developers not giving out codes and not allowing reviews means that they are worried about scores. This way, one can deduce that something is wrong with the game and that is why developers are insecure about their product. Jack shared there are a “lot of politics that go behind the scene” of every game release. 

These mannerisms from the developers made Jack skeptical. Even though he was very excited about the game’s release and was looking forward to playing it for the channel. Inevitably, his doubts were realized when he finally got to play the game on his own…

I booted it up, I started recording it and everything, and then the game ran like absolute dog sh*t, which was already bothering enough, and then like an hour into the game, it was just wasn’t fun. I thought the characters were kinda dull, and I wasn’t interested in the story at all and the gameplay itself was like dead space, but not as tight or as fun…” Jacksepticeye shared his experience with the game.
