My experience with Skyrim - PC gaming at its worst

They get a 'free' pass because their games are pretty good and they generally work well enough. For example, I haven't run into any game-breaking bugs in Bethesda's games myself (at least yet). Sure, they're buggy, but for most people, they're still enjoyable despite the bugs. But for some games, bugs can really kill the fun.

Skyrim got a 92 meta on PS3. The game didn't had severe lag that made it unplayable after some hours. They took a year to fix it. So yes, it's pretty much a free pass while other devs get slaughtered by way, way less.

A sitation which a lot of reviewers did not experience as it can take dozens of hours into the game or not happen at all.  Only if a reviewer ran into that problem personally should it influence their score.
