More concerning than Bethesda's decision to withhold early review codes from certain outlets is how heavily some sites are relying on the game to drive their business.

I still look to Yahtzee when I'm curious about a game that's either new or I'm too broke to buy at the time.

Fuck a * out of * score. Tell me what annoyed you about the game, or what you enjoyed. So much more worth my time than seeing numbers and not looking into why those numbers exist.

Too many reviews just go through talking points from the publisher/dev anyway so they're useless.

At least Yahtzee gets to the fucking point of it all and in short time.
