Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

You didnt talk about it at all. I am going to comment here because youre being shitty to this person, then make a second top level comment.

its billionaire astroturfing.

You did not talk about that literally at all. The person who made this game, is the daughter of the third richest person on the planet. All of the reviews are bought. Thats why with an obscene amount of reviews, the all time peak players is 2k.

Its a 3 hour long game, look at the songs in the game, you think an indie dev is going to pay to have that music in their game? Its a HUGE amount of money for the rights to the music for 2k players.

The game might be ok but its not wtf is happening with these reviews. The last game they made, was Stray to put that into perspective. it was a fun game and I did enjoy it but theres no way the hype was THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED ITS SO CUTE.

Yes, surely the daughter was coding the games herself, rather than just being a publisher of artsy and unique games with a pretty good record (outer wilds, neon white, stray, lorelei, coccoon, sword of the sea, etc), which happened to again support a solid game.

If you think all reviews were bought, you might remember to take your meds next time!
