Seeing both Riftbound and Magic creators receive product for set launches, and with it comes a wave of disappointment for people who don't get sent stuff. Just a reminder that it's not that your content isn't good enough, or your numbers aren't impressive enough. A lot of the time there's a limited number of spots, and each set is going to have different internal criteria when selecting creators. Granted, sometimes it's down to networking, sure. I'm pretty terrible at advocating for my content myself. But what won't help you in the long run is making a spiky post about not getting things. As part of my job I send out hundreds of game codes to press and creators. Sometimes it's a genuine accident that we miss people out, and in those cases, it's WAY better to receive a polite email, especially if we have an existing working relationship. The people making the decisions on who to send stuff to are human, so lashing out is very not the way to get stuff in future. Share your content proudly instead, and show people why you should be sent stuff in the future! Community / Marketing teams WANT to see cool stuff so they can push them forward!
