Dear Developers,
Right now, the game is in Early Access, and the entire community is supporting you – financially and with our time.
We all invested because we believe in InZoi, and yet, not everyone is treated equally when it comes to updates.
It’s fine if partners get special packages or promotional content – that’s marketing.
But giving exclusive early access to new updates to certain groups while the rest of the paying community has to wait?
That feels like a betrayal of the trust we placed in you when we bought into Early Access.
We’re all here to test, give feedback, and help shape the game.
We should all be playing the same version at the same time – that’s how you keep the community united, not divided.
If fairness matters, then updates must be released to everyone simultaneously.
The whole community deserves equal treatment.

Please can you elaborate? I’ve seem to have missed that memo. Also it’s common practice to hand out exclusive early access to content creators and YouTubers to create some positive buzz, if that’s what you’re referring to.
Don’t know if it’s changed because I stopped playing for other reasons, but SmartZoi was only supported on Nvidia cards and not AMD graphics cards. I paid full price, but because I have an AMD card, can’t utilize the full game.
Probably stuff like that. It’s not fair to pay full price, but not get the full game when others do.
Oh I see, didn’t know that. However, the SmartZoi and other AI generated gameplay is powered by… NVIDIA ACE Just discovered that myself today:
So it’s not like the devs didn’t want too, but I presume there were no other crossplatform options available… In any case, it should be listed on the store pages to reflect that which currently isn’t the case.
If you haven’t heard of NVIDIA GeForce NOW, it let’s you stream inZOI to your pc. Unfortunately you need to get a premium subscription (day passes are available too) in order to access the full inZOI experience
This post refers to the Content Creators on YT, Twitch, etc. getting to test the major updates/DLC before all other players do… which is completely normal for games to do. Giving access to the content creators is for advertising major releases, so people know what to look forward to.
Not sure why this is a problem for this person. This is common practice. The game being in the Early Access phase doesn’t change that because the “Early Access” refers to getting access to the entire Early Access game as a whole before its official release. It’s exactly what we are getting. What OP is asking for is “Early-Early Access” lol
You will get to test and give feedback soon enough (5 more days). This is for advertising.
This is not because the Devs are excluding AMD players intentionally. This is because the technology is NVIDIA-created, owned, and operated. They can’t do anything about it unless NVIDIA includes AMD in the tech one day.
Same with the Face Tracking feature. The reason it’s an Apple product exclusive is that Apple owns the Patent for the technology, and other mobile companies are not yet legally allowed to utilize that technology. They said that if Apple doesn’t change that soon, they can try a workaround and try to implement it into a Windows app for computers, but that it will take time.
For both of these features, they are not essential to the game and are experimental themselves. I don’t think they should refrain from adding experimental features just because not everyone’s tech can run them, unless they’re essential.
I kinda get the OP’s point tho, the folks who bought into Early Access don’t need to be advertised to, they are already following the game and (for the most part) excited about updates. After a 1.0 release I see the point in these “advertising” strategies and even before Early Access I saw the point in these advertising stratagies of actually seeing gameplay. But now that a significant audience already bought and paid for with their own money into early access AND we are not at full release yet, the advertising is gonna serve the same purpose to those who haven’t bought InZoi rather we all get major updates and DLC at the same time or not.
I’m not too pressed about it because its only 5 days and not a month or something crazy like that, but I fully agree with the OP even if “other games do it”. Because other games do it doesn’t mean it has to be the way its always done.
Such BS. You know that to avoid server crash it is standard across the hole IT industry to release updates progressively…
On top of that you are mixing release candidates and actual releases.
Even if you are not trying to avoid server crashes, it’s a good idea to release progressively to larger audiances so you can fix issue poping up at the same time instead of crawling under complains of stuff not functionning. As you said this is a test phase, let them use their own strategy instead of trying to be a victim because you didn’t have the latest update right away.
I honestly don’t see the issue here. It’s normal for companies to extend early game play to youtubers, twitch streamers or influencers. With the purpose of advertising and driving more people in to test/play the game.
The game being already in Early-Access, the devs already listening to feedback and engage with the community. And yet you still complain about an irrelevant issue that changes nothing when it comes to players experience in Early-Access.
The only thing that does is promote the game outside the player base that already is aware of it.
Well it’s a common practice, building up hype for a new release. Yes it is needed, and yes, also for current inZOI owners. I let the chart speak for its own:
I am sure I saw this posted in the reddit community where the majority of people disagreed as it is quite clear that content creators are not the same as regular players. Why is it now posted here again under the wishlist category? This is against the forum policy (did you even read it?) and is totally off topic. This isn’t a place for you to rant. Will report.
Just discovered that myself today:
