    IGN overrating games is like… Their whole thing. Dissing them because they said BF2042 was good when it wasn’t is like talking shit on the rain for making things wet.

    “10/10 IGN” To describe shitty things has been a meme for over a decade, I think.

      IGN scale:

      • 7/10 - we didn’t get paid enough for this, but we don’t want to burn bridges
      • 8/10 - contract stated we could be honest, and the game kinda sucked; OR it was a pretty good indie, but we didn’t get paid
      • 9/10 - pretty good indie, but we don’t want to lump it with the bigger studies; OR bad AAA game, but they paid a lot for this review
      • 10/10 - good enough for the amount they paid for the review
