Thema: Bethesda rückt keine Review-Vorabversion für Dishonored 2 & Skyrim Remaster raus Antwort auf: Unspezifische und Unkategorisierbare News! von Don Cosmo
"Wir sind die Guten, denn das haben wir dieses Jahr bei Doom ja auch schon so gehandhabt und das stellte sich als richtig gutes Spiel raus!".

Bethesda has taken what was likely a good, long look at its prospects at selling games, and made the decision that early reviews don’t matter. The reviews may be positive, they may be negative, but Bethesda has decided that removing itself from the early review process made the most business sense.

“Earlier this year we released Doom,” Gary Steinman, Bethesda’s global content lead and former editor-in-chief of GamesRadar and PlayStation: The Official Magazine, wrote in a company blog post. “We sent review copies to arrive the day before launch, which led to speculation about the quality of the game. Since then Doom has emerged as a critical and commercial hit, and is now one of the highest-rated shooters of the past few years.”

“With the upcoming launches of Skyrim Special Edition and Dishonored 2, we will continue our policy of sending media review copies one day before release,” Steinman continues. “While we will continue to work with media, streamers, and YouTubers to support their coverage — both before and after release — we want everyone, including those in the media, to experience our games at the same time.”

This move will make reviews worse, overall.
