For Streamers & Content Creators: - There are no limitations to streaming, but we do recommend tagging your streams with #secretsofcaledon to avoid spoiling fans who haven't yet started. - There is no dedicated streamer mode, as music tracks are intended to be played without demonetization claims being made against streams or VODs and have been set-up with that in mind. - A handful of tracks rely on context-sensitive whitelisting. To take advantage of this system, please make sure you mention 'Life is Strange' 'LiS' 'Life is Strange Double Exposure' and/or 'Game' 'Gameplay' in the title of your vid. Early Access can be obtained right up until launch and is not limited to having purchased the Ultimate Edition before October 15.
