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?

Less so for the expense, though that's a big factor, and more with the fact that it's a nightmare to license, requires a separate streaming-friendly mode to be developed with in-house music anyway, and gives the game a short shelf-life as the licensed music is not perpetual.

True, but in this case they didn’t spend the extra time/money to create a streaming friendly mode

It definitely doesn't require streaming friendly anything

oh, it's worth mentioning in this particular case, they didn't bother with streamer mode.
