There's 0 chance that Keighley disrupts the industry gravy train like this, he would instantly become persona non grata with the publishers and outlets that engage in this kind of stuff.

I know, but one can dream.
Keighley needs to apologize for the award they made for Phil, basically a liar award.
Not to mention, when he was with GameTrailers he was Xbox’s number one hype man with his bullshit “documentaries” for every MS-exclusive game.
The peak today was only 219k (vs 338k for BG3) and it also dropped to number 3 on top sellers 
Damn it will be below 200k faster than I thought but I didn't want to be too harsh with my predictions

I have to agree with Chorizo here. I don't think there are enough reviewers left to drag the average below 80, even though 79 would be fitting.
The problem with Starfield's metascore is that it only has 74 reviews.
In general, AAA exclusives are around 140 reviews minimum, like God Of War Ragnarok, Zelda TOTK, FF16 ...
So where are the remaining 70 reviews? And will they be counted in the metacritic?
Or you have to face the fact that Microsoft/bethesda, in sorting out the tests, have made sure that there aren't any more tests than that.
And so Starfield's average won't fall below 80.

That doesn't explain why the game has only 74 reviews despite having been out for 2 weeks, instead of the hundred like of other big games from Sony and Nintendo.
god of war was ragnarok also released on PS4, but that didn't stop it from having 149 reviews on PS5.
zelda botw has 117 on switch
horizon forbidden west has 138 reviews on PS5
GT7 has 125 reviews
ghost of tsushima has 132 tests on PS4 and 79 on PS5
death stranding has 122 on PS4, 58 on PC and 75 on PS5
Even forza horizon 5 has 110 reviews and yet it's also available on xbox one and pc
we know full well that half the sites that didn't have access to the game in time to test it are missing, and that's the only valid explanation.
It does explain. If review copies was only XSX version, it would have over 100 reviews till date. Look at the OpenCritic.
Very simple. Reviewrs got a review copy of PS5 version . PS4 version only has a 3 reviews
Ghost of Tsushima has a 79 reviews for PS5 because reviewers reviewed Director's Cut which came out 2 years ago
opencritic mixes all reviews from all versions.
we're talking about metacritic, which does the opposite.
with only 74 reviews
+ sorting of testers
it's sure not going to happen
Yes, and that's the point. If on meta were all XSX version of Starfield reviewed, it would have over 100 reviews.
Told, there were mix of PC and XSX review copies
Interesting addition is the section for PS+ and Gamepass where are the reviews of the games which are added to the sub.
That's exactly what is happening and it's the Xbots fault. Look at what Clown Warren is doing on Twitter.
Well, at least we have the benefits of being the bigger fan base.
Imagine what that will do to studios and how they develop games to feed Twitter wars and just good enough to get fake review scores and fake forum outrage?
