I think it’s an easy inferral after all the attention paid to it with the CMA and during the FTC case

Even if they didn’t do it to appear weak to the regulators, it definitely seems like they stopped pushing it as heavily during that time for whatever reason

Wow!

Na. Xbox going third party based on a rumor is a bit of a stretch.

Jokingly, I said Square is going super hard on marketing, so they won’t beaten by this game. I know that’s not true but I can imagine people going all troll mode on the sale if it fails to defeat this.

It has slowdown a bit.

While technically true, it’s as much as saying rating has dropped by 200 viewers. This amount and how it’s already going over a week is undoubtedly incredible. Trust me, so many companies will kill for this number.

Yup… It has slowed down in the orbit :crazy_face:

Apparently, IGN won’t receive review code at all from WB Games for SS due to their preview being seen as negative. Thoughts?

No reviewers are entitled to a code for whatever reason so eh, don’t care if it’s true

Plus it’s IGN and they are trash anyway

Honestly, I don’t blame WB for not sending them a code. You rarely see a media outlet trash a game like that with a preview. I wouldn’t be shocked if they get blacklisted. I think its okay to be down on a game during your preview experience, but that headline was damaging . I don’t think i’ve seen an outlet use “I don’t like x game” in their headline

IGN are trying to shed their reputation as a PR firm for publishers but they go too far the other way sometimes and come across like your average reddit poster.

Trash a game in preview then wonder why they don’t get review codes. That’s so gaming media. I remember some outlets complaining about not getting early review codes for Starfield despite trashing the game for months up to it’s release.

Just searched for Visions of Mana on Google…

Feels like an error, but that would be dope

Apparently IGN broke their NDA. I’m not surprised if a company like WBIE is not happy about that extremely unprofessional behavior on IGN’s part.
