IGN caught manipulating votes for GOTY, attempting to undermine Black Myth: Wukong's lead.
All gaming sites engage in this, but IGN stands out for being particularly problematic. Many reviews today seem bought or influenced by company perks, leading to high scores for bad games. User reviews are often the most reliable, as their experiences can’t be faked like those of paid reviewers.
With high inflation, government money printing, and rising debt, many people will have to cut back on entertainment to afford food and shelter, especially with no increase in living wages.
A PC allows you to upgrade components like the GPU whenever you need to, whereas with a console, you’re stuck with its fixed specs. If the price is similar, why not invest in a PC? It can offer more flexibility and longevity compared to a console, which often requires replacement every few years.
Game makers think we stick to old games and respond by making remakes, but the real issue is the cost. With the PS5 Pro at $960, PS Plus at $11-$22 a month, and games costing $90-$170, it’s more practical to stick with old favorites.
When you buy full-price digital games, you don't actually own them. You pay to play but can lose access if the titles get de-listed. It's people's fault for buying digital games to begin with. Not saying cloud service is good,

People always struggle with issues like drinking, drugs, and gambling. But in games, especially those played by kids, microtransactions are another way companies take advantage of them. It's a problem that needs addressing.
I only grab solo games, and I can only play sometimes at night. PS+ is too pricey for me.
Prior to Microsoft, bad practices were evident with Blizzard's CEO, Bobby Kotick. World of Warcraft charges for services and additional DLC, with a single WoW skin reportedly earning more than StarCraft 2. This strategy extends to Call of Duty, taking advantage of people's consistent willingness to pay.

Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.
Everyone is to blame. Why bother making good games when it's more profitable to sell a 10-minute skin that makes more money than a whole game? Microtransactions has killed gaming.
Coming from the same company that charge for Xbox360/PS3, Xbox 1/PS4, and Xbox X or S/PS5
It's great to see Battlefield topping the charts with its more grounded military focus
