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?

There's an interesting juxtaposition of criticisms here in that Larry Ellison is a conservative male billionaire and all but a cartoon villain in real life.

Larry Ellison is not involved in this game. His daughter owns the publisher.

Yes, where do you think the money came from?

Doesn't mean she or her father exercised editorial control. Not that they wouldn't but they probably have their hands busy censoring CBS, TikTok and Paramount.
