A follow-up to my earlier video which explained why video game review scores are so inflated. In this video I give the example of Polygon who exist to hurt the Metacritic scores of PS3 exclusives on behalf of Microsoft since Xbox publications do not review Playstation games. I'm making this video not because I am mad at Polygon for their low review scores of Playstation games but because they do so pretending to be unbiased when Microsoft is their largest financial contributor.
