Update
An Obsidian developer has revealed he was denied a bonus for Fallout: New Vegas after it missed its Metacritic target by a single point.
"FNV was a straight payment, no royalties, only a bonus if we got an 85+ on Metacritic, which we didn't," tweeted Obsidian designer Chris Avellone.
The game actually achieved a Metacritic of 84.
