But they’ve never been owned by MS, now they’ll have to suffer the Xbox tax unless they create a genre than can be disqualified from winning anything like AA/Sim games. 

But there are counter-examples to that as well.  Speaking as a Halo fan, I think critics were quite nice to Infinite.  I loved my time with it at launch too, but not having Forge nor co-op was a fair sticking point when weighing someone's overall score.  Having it hover in the high 80's doesn't suggest a tax.  

Plus, The Coalition's Gears titles are given a fair shake.

Well coallition is great , they made Gears 5 in 3 years, co op from the start,  has still one of the most impressive graphics, Got excellent Dlc, even in 2 years after launch did excellent updates even when the first months were rough during covid and they had to resort to do some dripfeeding.

Their is no tax, thats a typical fanboy thing to say even expecting great reviews for new bethesda rpg's is based on fanboy talk.  Sure MW/Oblivion/Skyrim/F3 did well but their last game Fallout 4 had issues , similar issues like a Far Cry 6 or AC valhalla have,  feeling repetitive + adding stuff that doesn't really add much to the game or were for most gamers barely fun and then we are not even talking about the DLC , if Far Harbor did not come out the game would have had one of the worst DLC's in the RPG industry especially compared to games like the Witcher 3...    Well in a month we know more I just hope the MTX rumours are not true.
