    So in Youtuber's Jeff Favignano latest TSW2 video, he makes a mention about an upcoming video he will be doing with DTG at roughly the 8:30 mark....
    (Note: Apparently it video isn't allowed to be played on the forum)


    Sounds like he has some sort of deal going on where he may be previewing some parts of Rush Hour (Most likely the NEC: Boston - Providence Route). Not sure when he is uploading that video or if it will be before the 1st route drops, but I though to share that info here for anyone interested in maybe catching that video in the future.

    Its also odd, as Jeff isn't really a full on train person, and only really dabbed on and off of TSW2/TSW2020 in the past.

    It looks like he is doing a sponsored video showing off Rush Hour. He has over a million subscribers so it doesn’t really matter that he isn’t a train person because a lot of people are going to see the video and that’s why it’s happening.

    It's hardly odd to me, he's one of the bigger channels who cover simulation out there, and his videos are probably some of the only ones that are being exposed to people who aren't already massive train buffs. Squrriel's the only other big channel I can think of who would cover Train Sim World in any capacity and has a comparable reach and audience. Neither have massive viewer bases per say, but you're talking a solid 50k views or so at least, probably more for a first look, that's massive compared to most Train Sim content on YouTube, well worth getting Jeff to cover TSW.

    Hasn’t he criticized the game a lot in the past? It would be too bad if he was forced to give a good review, but maybe they just want to give him an early look at the game like some developers do.

    He has. Those criticisms were fair too

    Is there a rail festival coming up? Usually get youtuber slots on Weekend promotions.

    Jeff reviews alot of simulation games so I'm not surprised he will be having a look at RH. I'm looking forward to his review and footage
