I really wanted to like this game. However, they never finished making it which is very frustrating and then made a second game while I was still waiting. I don't think I'm ever going to try a game from this publisher again.

I wish you could give neutral reviews on Steam games, because that's how I feel tbh. This is one of those games I bought after watching some YouTubers play it and because I'm a sucker for sim games. The gameplay loop is very repetitive, which I don't entirely mind. But it's pretty much just work, make vids, upgrade/buy stuff, go to events, study, eat, sleep. If you're looking for something that doesn't require a lot …

I remembered this game from when it was popular on Youtube. Finally gave into the nostalgia and bought it, I'm almost at the end of this first game; luckily I bought the two pack. I will never understand why this game died off so fast. It is a great gem from a different world, Youtube has changed so much so it is easy to forget what it used to be like. Before Ninja, before Mr Beast, before it turned into a …

This game does exactly what it says on the tin. A lovely management simulator. Graphics aren't revolutionary, but that means this works well on almost any computer. A variety of things to keep track of with new console releases, new games coming out, and a social life to keep up on. You can also have fashion, cooking, and music channels but I haven't played through them. I highly recommend this if you like complex …

This game is a gem of the Simulator genre. Despite being ten years old now it is still the most fun YouTuber/Streamer Sim there is. Really good gameplay loop, allows you to experiement with different paths and make your own mistakes. There is no one way to play/beat the game which I really enjoy. 9/10 would recommend.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is honestly an amazing game. But these devs do not deserve any good reviews asking members to remove their negative reviews. I almost want to buy youtube simulator 3- turn it on for 20 minutes turn it off so I can refund it and give it a negative review. Terrible job devs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got into this years ago as I expect a lot of you also did after watching youtubers play it, like DanTDM or Jacksepticeye. The game looked so much better back then and was also more enjoyable. Now it has become very chaotic and was a game I couldn't relax to anymore. The recording videos part really bugged me as I actually liked doing it in the past but with the game just telling you what effects you can get bonus on instead of getting a reward for doing the correct match on the image.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to love this game. but the fact is that the developers are incredibly shady, releasing products and then not finishing them. While refusing to listen to feedback or issue refunds or some other compensation for what is a borderline scam. DO NOT purchase any game now or ever posted by UPLAY. On a technical note, the game is ok. there are alot of small bugs and the UI has a tendency to glitch in very small ways. The biggest problem is that for every 25 hours of gameplay i have the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfinished game, even after all these years. It's unfortunate
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was RUINED by updates. Coming back after 8-9 years, I actually still enjoyed Youtubers Life! It has this low budget charm that makes me feel like I'm playing an old flash game and the grindy management gameplay still holds up to me. But the game has been left in an unacceptably broken state, seemingly thanks to the OMG update and its subsequent patches. My latest run was plagued with a lot of infuriating bugs upon reaching mid-game. Including but not limited to: - The main…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super nostalgic for me but seeing it through adult eyes. It’s super repetitive but the parts that would take you out of the repetitive game play are SUPER boring it’s just a watered down version of the sims. Also still some glitches after all these years. I’ll still play it from time to time and if you have the nostalgia too it’s worth it but for anyone new who hasn’t played it. Not worth it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tell me how this game has been out for a decade and still has bugs? I'm doing the chef path, and half the time it won't let me do anything except view profile on my assistant, it won't let me pick the station I want to use, it won't let me talk to the people that come in, i mean SERIOUSLY fix your game!! There's no excuse.

It is a great gem from a different world, Youtube has changed so much so it is easy to forget what it used to be like. Before Ninja, before Mr Beast, before it turned into a performance. This game holds such a pure form of what the world used to be for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to be playable, all updates halted once the new version was released, can't progress past the basics anymore in this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After FINALLY achievement hunting this game, replaying every channel, getting ever piece of clothing, every console, doing everything in this game (while having to cheat the ones that wont trigger) I FINALLY beat this game, and it is time for my honest review! now first of this is a youtube simulation game where you just build up your channel while managing your mood and economy to put it simple, the game is fun but I would recommend it if you get it for cheaper, and if you are looking for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Youtubers Life was cool when it first came out in 2016 but when the omg edition came out in 2018 the game was re-branded as Youtubers Life omg and I thought the omg edition would be a separate version so individuals can pick the version they like. The omg edition has really bad features compared to the original version of the game. Here's my list of things about the omg edition I don't like and the the thing about the original version I miss 1.You have to click you mouse button to enter the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so boring, I expect it to be a mini the Sim 1 but It doesn't even enough to be call the sim lite with youtubers aspect. - Its extremely repetitive and boring progression system. I know repeat streaming is the main job of a tuber but there is nothing new to keep you engage. Buying popular game to stream it, upgrade your setup, leveling up unlock better card with bring better point. And that it, the main gameplay - The simulation part is even worst. You have to go to study sometimes…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 game, i used to play it alot on an old account, repurchased it on this one fell back in love with it, it does have its bugs but for a nearly 10 year old game it stills holds up, there are a few missing features but overall still a playable and good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huh, a new YouTubers Life game is coming out. Honestly, despite being pretty basic, I enjoyed YouTubers Life 2. So looking forward to this one. Probably won't get on release, just on sale. But still looking forward to it. youtu.be/ktqLZI3FHpM?...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Youtubers Life"? But youtubers don't actually have lives. Now then, the game was rather decent for its time about 10 years ago, but unfortunately it can't compete with the "peak action" happening nowadays since it does not display any of the current drama, toxicity, allegations regarding minors and harassments, it does not feature any LGTVHD+ fat acceptance/blue-haired/septum ring mentally challenged people, no AI slop, nothing like that, so basically none of the "good stuff". HOWEVER, 2016…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Repetitive gameplay loop which is fine if you're into that, but there's also some bugs that just make life unnecessarily harder. Like okay cool it takes forever to upload a video but at least I can buy a second PC so me and my coworker can do videos at the same time... except the selector to toggle between the two PCs is unreliable so psych looks like you just spend a couple of grand on a second PC just to use it as a paperweight....

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know about this game man. It's kinda just bad. There's no actual depth here, everything feels really shallow and meaningless. The gameplay itself just boils down to the same few actions over and over.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im not kidding when i say that this game was the reason i have a steam account...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The mines in Stardew Valley have monsters, so basically dungeon-delving. YouTubers Life was a pretty popular game, though I hated the art style. That gamified getting popular on fake social media. I think that angle could work.
negative · AI labelView post →the og youtuber experience, i remember wanting this game so bad when i started seeing playthroughs of it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, I really do. But most of this game is just pure stress. Also very monotone game play loop. Maybe the second game is better.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple easy gameplay. Nice graphics for the 1st game. I def enjoy playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, I cant recommend this game. While Fun at moments... the constant grind is out of control. You can't really do much other than, grind up the levels as much as you can with little free time in the game. I've played 34+ hours in the years I've had it, if that tell you anything... I want to give it better like 3 stars but again I just don't personally recommend it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No one’s paying attention, so here’s the truth: I am very much bitchless
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very simple, time waster, It is fun at the start but mid-way/near the end it's just the same thing over and over, I played all the careers, and by far the only "fun" one was the cooking/fashion, since you need to actually do something. Achievement-wise well you'll need to replay 4 times for all the career achievements, and it will suck since it gets very boring where you'll just start making automated videos by the time you reach the second/third house. They are pretty simple just boring.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy mess despite the patches, sometimes I cannot select my first Pc, sometimes I get kicked out the Network for no reason, etc The game moves at a snails pace while time passes so quickly, leaving with less time than you think you have especially if your character is tired Haven't tried the other channel types yet but overall gameplay loop is way too repetitive that it gets boring after a while. Wouldn't recommend if you came here from watching Youtubers play this game back in 2016 like I did.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 game BUT is a bit expensive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just a huge Roblox Simulator with a budget. It feels so empty and somehow a cash grab and humble? Idk. It's not good if you want to actually have fun, but its fine if you want to take a blast from the past. Just make sure to play under 2 hours so you can get your money back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm so glad they didnt make anymore more games. Right? Right...

In the cinema, both my player character and any character i bring along can literally get stuck at the cinema seats because it can't pathfind properly , atleast at times. To be fair, this only seems to happen unless i'm sitting at the front of the cinema, from my experience... but still what the heck? I did get this at a pretty hefty discount but the fact they never…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a pretty alright little game, first time playing feels nice, some stuff i dont like, for example if you have a lot of games some of them get deleted and you cant access them anymore. But its alright, its not that much content but you do have 4 categories of youtuber you can have so i guess it does have some variety, decent game, 7/10. Maybe will play again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →classic, still holds up, no replayability tho. prob not worth this price tag in the modern day

The gameplay is fun but too many bug keep pushing me down from haveing fun until i have to stop playing this game. Very good momories for my inner child but i wolud not recommend is better just wacth yt video insted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 10 hours of wasting my time playing this game, I ran into the same issue I had before. I played this game years ago when I was 18, I am 29 now and the issue remains. I thought maybe they would have fixed it by now but they haven't. I get stuck bc none of my deliveries will show up. I contacted someone about it already but nothing has happened so I just have this game sitting in my Steam uninstalled.
