Another shot fired at the culture war altar of Grummz.

 

[skyfinch]

Of course they are. Any media site that doesn't include Foamstars in their game of the year discussions is bullshit.

 

[GooseMan69]

STOP THE COUNT!

 

[AJUMP23]

If you don't like the results change them. It works all the time.

 

[Kamina]

Cant wait for the shit magazine to shut down eventually

 

[tmlDan]

stop posting tweets from these losers, bruh

 

[Cyberpunkd]

As my teacher said 20 years ago: "Statistics is a wonderful discipline, you can show whatever you want just by picking the right data".

 

[MasterDerico]

Seriously guys, do u really care about IGN ?

 

[Warnen]

Dustborn takes the lead..

 

[cireza]

The number of votes can rise while the percentage falls. Because other games are getting more votes bellow the first 3 places, so it is diluting the total number of votes for Wu Kong as a whole.

Unless we have the total votes figure, all games included, we can't say that data is being manipulated. And I don't see this number in the screens.

 

[tommib]

I did my part and also voted for Shadow of the Edtree.

 

[makaveli60]

You can be always more pathetic

 

[Topher]

Data manipulation? Based on what? Some twitter guy?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

 

[Tsaki]

I mean would Chinese bots have nothing to do with it?

 

[Robb]

 

[ElFenomeno]

As Stalin once said, it's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

 

[Hookshot]

What are the duels? Why can't it just be a vote like normal?

 

[ManaByte]

Grummz is a rage farming grifter who failed at developing video games and now just sits on Twitter all day.

 

[adamsapple]

Inclined to disagree just because it's a Grummz tweet.

The suspicious part is that the # of duels for Wukong increased by ~44,000 in that time period, while the # of duels for FF7 only increased by ~1,200

I don’t really know how their system works but that seems fishy.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

In 50% of cases it works 100% of the time

Within 1 hour a game drops from 90% to 75%? With second place almost flat? 80/20 principle applies all the time.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Shadow of the Erdtree? DLC is eligible for GOTY?

 

[Doggyred]

Even if the vote count wasn’t being manipulated, winning wouldn’t mean much since voters aren’t considering the game’s quality and are likely voting just to spite IGN. While BMW is a good game, it doesn’t deserve to win over Rebirth or Erdtree

 

[tommib]

Shadow of the Erdtree? DLC can run for GOTY?

That’s how good it is.

 

[Kvally]

Grummz? LOL, no.

 

[Hrk69]

I doubt everyone above the age of 16 cares what happens with IGN

 

[M1chl]

Who cares nerds, have you enjoyed the game

 

[Cornbread78]

I'm sad, really sad.. this has completely ruined my day. My chad validation hinges on WuKong's success

 

[Thebonehead]

STOP THE CUNTS!

Fixed that for you

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

That’s how good it is.

I see. I’ll have to get it sooner rather than later then.

 

[SweetTooth]

Wow, why all the hate for Wukong?

 

[Palabragrís]

Do people still visit IGN?

 

[lughnasadh123]

Someone really trying to pull a stop the steal on IGN? Lmao.

 

[Kacho]

Do people still visit IGN?

Not just that. People actually care. Wtf... lol

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I couldn’t care less about who wins this poll (or about anything IGN writes, for that matter).

But if they’re manipulating the results of their own poll then their readers (and the gaming community as a whole) should know about it and shame them for it.

 

[shaddam]

>Grumz
Stopped reading right there

 

[yogaflame]

Does IGN really matter to gamers? That is too much entitlement for IGN.

 

[ahtlas7]

IGN

 

[Kvally]

Who cares nerds, have you enjoyed the game

No, cuz I can't "git gud"

I couldn’t care less about who wins this poll

^Winning comment.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I wouldn't put it past IGN, but I could definitely see the votes being botted, too.

 

[Fake]

IGN being IGN.

 

[Zathalus]

Oh god not Grummz. Basically the Alex Jones of gaming.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Wait until you guys realize all GOTY awards from publications are manipulated, including Geoff's show lmao, but please do keep reading and promoting reviews from these sites, they'll def change for better. Keep buying based on their scores guys.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Grummz is a dumb piece of shit.


If there was an adjustment it's most likely to remove bot votes.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Knowing the Mafia that is linked to Geoff Keighley and IGN, they gonna put this shitty game as a Candidate for Game of the Year

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Shadow of the Erdtree? DLC can run for GOTY?

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom lost back then.
