If I remember it right, it was on the back of Ubisoft making a trailer for a game which got so heavily disliked they threw a world class hissy fit and Youtube, in response, removed the feature in some weird "It's to make the platform less toxic" thing.

It's not that.

For YouTube, it was when Biden whitehouse videos kept getting dislikes. They were already thinking about it when a YouTube Rewind got a bunch of hate previously.
Netflix, some female comedian with the right opinions got low ratings.
Rotten Tomatoes, I forget which film it was specifically, but there was some movie that had the right politics and got ratioed.

Most games, even indie games, get some public money in the form of art grants and tax credits. It's partially why Montreal and the province of Quebec is basically one of the main epicenters of gaming.

There's better arguments to make against Mixtape, but this ain't it.

But are these grants handed out fairly? Why is she getting the money and not some genuine indie dev with a big idea and just needs the funds to realise it.

This is part of what GamerGate was about. The corruption of IndieFund and the Indie Games Festival giving awards to games they had granted loans to in order to make more money.

I went back to Forspoken after watching a let's play of this shit. Do you know how bad a game has to be for me to go back to stuff like Forspoken and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst? Hell even Perfect Dark Zero is better than this.

The positive reviews....they just gotta be paid reviews. There is literally no way.........

Captain Marvell was when they removed the audience ability to express an opinion pre release. They lied about at the time saying it was a long standing intent but a couple of weeks later they directly attributed it to that film. They also lied (as did the legacy media presenting it as the irrationality of negatively reviewing films before they had been seen. The actual question the public were answering however was "Are you going to watch this film?" or something similar so they gaslit on that also. Shortly after they made it more difficult for the public to comment generally with the "verified review" system.

Amy Schumer IIRC. They invested a lot of money into that "comedienne" and it really did not go well! Schumer - a modern example of that old joke about the leather looking better when it was on its first cow.

One of my favorite stories to tell about IGN is from back around MGSV's release. Keep in mind this was a clusterfuck kojima wankfest game which had a PAID demo the year prior (ground zeroes) to help pay for the hell development cycle. When the game released, it was quite literally a Half-Finished Product. The game, by creator admission, wasn't complete, it had a missing endgame and was clearly a buttfucked passion project from an autistic hollyjew-worshipping Jap who ALWAYS ran over budget. But this time Konami had enough of Kojimbo and finally put him out to pasture...

This literally unfinished game received a Perfect, Flawless, 100% "Greatest Game Ever Made" 10/10 from those niggers at IGN. However, that isn't the best part of the story. The best part of the story is that - at the time of this 10/10 perfect flawless review from IGN - their fucking shameless website had advertisements for MGSV all over their site banners.

IGN being shit was already a cheeky meme back then, but it took seeing bullshit like that to make me personally realize - these niggers are cuntbag sellouts. These niggers are more bribed with shekels than America's Congress. Story over.

The reviews are obviously paid for. Some Eastern developers don't play the game and IGN give their games poor reviews. It's not a coincidence.
 
Every year we inch closer and closer to the final and absolute death of legacy games journalism, and that's a good thing.

Who the fuck makes a game about a 90's mixtape without;

Barbie Girl - Aqua
Spice Girls/Backstreet boys
Witch Doctor - Cartoons
Baby one more time - Britney Spears
Wonderwall - Oasis
Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio

Like seriously, if I am making a game based in the 90s I am throwing one of those in there just for the fact they were fucking everywhere.

I'm actually going to defend excluding these, in case that even was a decision borne out of anything but financial/licensing issues. The characters are all shithead teenagers who hate anything super mainstream, so she wouldn't be caught dead with any of these on her mixtape.

Yes and they probably cost more. But also consider that the retards who made this game didn't actually grow up in the US in the 90s, some of them having not grown up in the 90s at all other than having been toddlers.

You can look at the chart history for all of the above songs and see that they were global sensations. Even something like the Gangsta's Paradise album did as well in many non English-speaking countries as it did in the US.
 
My wife's boyfriend played the game, said it made him cry out of nostalgia. Game of the millennium!
