Another Developer Going down the pan.

Obviously you didn't say 'exactly' that, but you basically said that it ran absolutely fine for you and therefore you didn't really believe there was much of an issue. I'm not sure if you're trying to be intentionally annoying, its well known that there were lots of performance issues at launch, it was even acknowledged by the devs when they rushed out the patches.
 
Reviews are pointless, just wait for the game to be released and then watch some gameplay videos on Youtube.

Many reviewers are coerced by developers/publishers into giving favourable reviews, through threats of being blacklisted (no longer being sent review copies, or being invited to interviews) if the reviewer doesn't give their games good reviews. This is why terrible games get abnormally high reviewer scores, look up Dragon Age 2 as a very good example of this.

I suspect it's a case of send reviewers early unfinished copies, launch for everyone at the same time, or delay launch until it's all polished for the reviews.

In game development, nothing "game breaking" will be changed in the course of a week if not spotted till reviewer code is launched.

The process of changing something that "game breaking" would result in a delay anyway.

This is just Bethesda/ZeniMax being grade A ***** or they just believed in their product.

It is more likely they tried negotiating for paid reviews but nobody agreed or just simply cannot be bothered with hassle of review copies seeing as nowadays it has zero impact on sales.

It's completely unlikely. Especially given what they're doing with Prey and the hour demo/preview they're offering in advance of the game's release.

If you're stupid enough to pre-order games or buy them wily-nily on release day then more fool you. Pre-ordering is idiotic and self-defeating.

Agree with the sentiment, if not the wording :p Never pre-ordered and never will. Literally cannot see any advantage, unless you like tacky pre-order "bonus" crap like a plastic figurine or such.

This really is a non-story.
