With several big names in the world of YouTube, I appreciate that Ubisoft and the Devs want to showcase their game and will no doubt be getting some of them to play their game closer to the release. What exactly is the criteria for being included in this list of people that get early and exclusive access to showcase the game.
I fully understand that in order to maximise publicity and promotion that Ubi will be selecting big name YouTubers but what about the prospect of helping out some of the newer and smaller channels?! I have played nearly (if not every) GR game and freaking love the series. I cant wait to get my hands on it and see how the new direction of an HUGE open world map changes the meta of the game for players. Plus I'm buzzing for the ability to not only experience this world and destroy anything that stands in my way but to be able to do it with my mates as well. Instead of my brother and I huddling in front of a split screen TV like we used to do when the early Ghost Recons came out we will be doing it again 15 years later from other sides of the country!
I'd give anything for the opportunity to showcase and play this game.

Anyone active in the community can be part of the family ^^ But as you said you'd give everything well then I'll took Alfie !
Jocking, It's good that you came forward, maybe Keeba can do something, if you don't have message from her here don't hesitate to PM her.
Good luck.

Content, content, content. Be vocal on the forums and such offering good ideas and constructive criticism. Bring some level of knowledge, speculation, or expertise that people can understand and/or use. Also, videos should be as well thought out and produced as much as possible with nice thumbnail images and graphics. I'm not familiar with you or your channel so I couldn't really offer any advice on what you need to do, but I'll check your stuff out later when I have more time. My channel isn't big, just around 1,200 subscribers, but I got those subscribers by being real and bringing a special spin to my channel thanks to my time in the military. I also don't monetize my videos which is refreshing for a lot of people that are weary of videos from the big content creators, but that's a rarity. I've made friends in the development community, been invited to participate in community events, and this year got to go to E3 (thanks Keeba! =D) because my voice has some weight within the community...for better or for worse depending on how you view me.
Once you have a big enough voice, that's usually when you will be sought out. Most dev studios and publishers aren't interested in channels that have single/double digit subscriber bases. I actually have had conversations with some developer friends about people pestering them about getting early access to a product when they have no subscribers or any meaningful content. Again, be active and helpful in the community and produce content people want to see and you stand a good chance of being sought out. I hope this helps!
EDIT: You have way more subscribers than I do! You're already in a good position then so I don't know what else to say other than be active, helpful, and constructive in these forums.
