They only care about money

They only care about money. They lie and falsely provide misinformation to push their own agenda which is more money from big ass studios that continue to deliver a incomplete game. Us gamers know which games these are but for some reason this keepson happening.

IGN’s Double Standards: When Wokeness Replaces Quality

A company that has not even a bit of authenticity anymore. Maybe before 2020 it was good, but now it depicts games that are fun but don’t fit the political wokeness they want to mirror, as bad and behind.

They use categories like diversity, which shouldn’t even be a category because it’s not an example of quality in a game. The funny thing is that they don’t even know what diversity is because they say, for example, that a game where you play as a monkey who can change into different forms and animals doesn’t have any diversity, which is the biggest bu11shit I’ve ever heard.

They hate on newer games that have a beautiful and attractive protagonist, while glorifying old characters from old games with those same attributes in the same post! IGN is the pinnacle of stupidity and politically biased journalism.

As if this wasn’t enough, they even sabotaged user votes for the Game of the Year in 2024 by botting Black Myth: Wukong with bad reviews in a duel format where you could choose between two games.

I was someone who believed in the good in the company. I told myself that one mistake was made by an individual in the company, but with the amount of mistakes piling up, I’ve come to the conclusion that IGN itself is the villain.

Political propaganda website

They gave "Dustborn" game score of 7, which is totally failed game, moreover it's promote hate and division.
But they refused to review popular remake "Lolipop chainsaw".

So, their reviews depend only on political agenda or money, they have nothing to do with gaming.

Disgusting Company..

This company supports games that allow child exploitation. Palia is a game full of adults prying on children through bullying and participation of adult child relationships that involve dating in game.

They gave "concord" a 7/10

They gave "concord" a 7/10, a game that's so bad Sony had to shut it down and refund players. Please don't rely on IGN for honest reviews, they are bribed by companies.

A Sham of Gaming Journalism

IGN, once a respected name in gaming journalism, has fallen into disrepute. Their reviews are consistently biased, often favoring games from specific publishers or developers. It's clear that they're more interested in lining their pockets than providing honest, unbiased opinions.

Their review scores are often wildly inaccurate, leaving gamers feeling misled and disappointed. It's become a joke among the gaming community to simply ignore IGN's ratings and rely on reviews from more trustworthy sources.

It's disheartening to see such a once-prominent outlet stoop to such low standards. Their greed and unethical practices have tarnished the reputation of gaming journalism as a whole. It's time for gamers to demand better and boycott companies like IGN that prioritize profit over integrity.

IGN is a lying JOKE!!

This lying website keeps lying about every game review! It doesn’t matter if the game is broken or whatever it may be.
Their reviews can not be trusted.
At this point IGN is an absolute nuisance to the gaming world in general. I really hope IGN goes under soon because no real gamer can take them serious at this point. Don’t listen to IGN because you’re pretty much guaranteed to loose your money!
The fakest game journalist on any gaming platform!
