Wukong was oppressed, the perpetrator was still a familiar name

It is not difficult to realize that at the present time, Black Myth: Wukong is one of the best games of 2024 and is also a strong candidate for this year's Game of the Year title.

Most gamers have sympathy for this game. Even though they haven't had the chance to actually play, many people have seen the game's scenes and storyline on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. But it seems that not everyone gives positive reviews to Black Myth: Wukong, and IGN is the clearest example.

Accordingly, even before Black Myth: Wukong was released, for some unknown reason, IGN tried to find ways to “destroy” this game as much as possible.

Even after this game reached new records, an IGN reporter continued to heavily criticize Black Myth: Wukong, even calling on gamers to “crack” instead of buying the game. It was thought that everything would stop here, but recently, many gamers have realized that Black Myth: Wukong is continuing to be suppressed in the Game of the Year voting table on IGN itself.

Specifically, gamers have given evidence that when Black Myth: Wukong was in first place, the game's rating suddenly dropped from 90% to only 70% in just two hours. Based on the format, if Black Myth: Wukong's rating drops, it means that at least one or more other games will have their ratings increased to make up for the difference. But strangely, other games have almost no changes. Not to mention, on the banners for this IGN event, the name Black Myth: Wukong does not appear at all, even though this is the number one candidate. These details make many people think that the “enmity” between IGN and Black Myth: Wukong still shows no signs of stopping. And at the present time, Black Myth: Wukong has even dropped to 3rd place, behind DLC Shadow Of The Erdtree and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Of course, IGN's rankings are only based on opinions and votes from players and do not have too much quality like The Game Awards event. However, the fact that Black Myth: Wukong is being somewhat “suppressed” has also created a lot of criticism from gamers.
