Well I don't play many games and I don't remember this sort of stuff happening before TDD came out. His video would have been more suitable for a launch trailer - just remove the shrieking man child playing it and there you go. The content released when the game's release date was announced was fine; it didn't really give anything away but I think someone 'reviewing' it in a video two weeks before its release just doesn't make sense. And knowing what PDP is like at commentary I highly doubt it was a review, it'd be more of a puerile attempt at being funny with his tasteless jokes and such. I know you're a fan and I don't mean to offend but this is what I see in him.
I said before that he could write a blog post on his experience and there would be no screenshots and no footage until release or a few days beforehand.

If he got a review copy of the game and instructions for what he can and can't show FG clearly intended for this video to hit the web. I wont watch it because I want to play the game not knowing anything of what to come, but I'm fine with all the people who want to watch the video.
I smell a lot of the old Pewdiehate in this thread, poor guy really is the scapegoat for a whole lot.
"I still fail to see how it would be Pewdiepies fault that screenshots are circulating the web."
I think the premise is quite simple: he played the game, his fans shared the footage along with the screenshots and there we go. If it wasn't for his video these spoilers wouldn't exist; however, PDP isn't the only one: if FG didn't give him the review copy this wouldn't have happened.
His fans shared it all over the web but it was still up to PDP to upload his video.
