Granted, I didn't get too far into DS before I started getting hammered with the pre-holiday work crunch, so I don't have a fully formed opinion, but I don't think it's entirely incorrect that DS is getting free mileage out of Kojima's name. That said, who cares? Franchises get free rides all the time, either because of the history of the series or a developer's past games.

I wonder if they would have melted down as hard if also-mediocre Pokemon Sword/Shield made it to the top?

So this is something some mod on their forums did and not actually anyone at IGN itself?

I'm left wondering if IGN is following a new policy regarding their reviews. At a lot of outlets reviews are handed out on a first-come-first-serve basis, with bigger games being reserved for senior or editorial staff. The usual result is the biggest fanboy on staff ends up reviewing the game (see: why CoD gets great scores every year).

After a lot of baffling reviews from them in the last year I wonder if they're trying something new out.

Lmao holy shit.

Its odd too, DS seems like exactly the sort of game IGN would fawn over. Insider meddling by Konami?

A forum mod should not be able to add and remove games from the official IGN GOTY poll.

100 percent.

Some dude who volunteers his time and (assuming) doesn't work for the company isn't the company.

You are actually wrong. A forum mod wouldnt be able to remove Death Stranding from the list of games nominated for GOTY. It would have to be an actual employee. This is disgusting lol

So IGN started their GOTY poll without DS, added it after 7000 votes, it dominated and they removed all polls and every trace of it being voteable on the page.
Meanwhile a forum mod that shares IGNs anti-Kojima views got salty and told people to stop voting on the game.
