Bethesda vs games journalism

The world got over it and everybody lived happily ever after.*

How Bethesda sees critics

*We won’t mention that because​ some critics rushed to be the first to review Not Prey and others took a more measured approach, the game is being reviewed inconsistently. Nor will we mention that this has resulted in diverse Metascores: 71 on PC, 78 on PS4 and 80 on Xbox One. We don’t want those crazy kids at Bethesda blacklisting us.

An unreliable narrator crafting narrative works. I tweet a lot @wasauthor and ramble a bit on wastanley.com. When not doing that, I’m writing my debut novel.
