recently, ign's annual game voting has caused a huge controversy, mainly due toblack myth: wukongthe ranking and support rate of "the legend of zelda: reborn" fluctuated greatly, which was not normal. it was ranked 5th at the beginning, then soared to 1st, and then began to plummet. on the 24th, it fell to 2nd place, and on the 25th, it continued to plummet and fell to 3rd place. because the ranking changes too frequently, it also caused a lot of doubts overseas, and the executives of ign also issued a special article to respond to this matter.

first, black myth: wukong continued to decline in the ranking on the 25th, dropping one place to third place. and the support rate is only 67.8%. you should know that when black myth: wukong ranked first a few days ago, the support rate was over 90%. who would have thought that it would drop so much in just two days? the data is really exaggerated.

it wasn't just domestic fans who were angry about this. many people abroad also questioned it. former blizzard producer grummz specifically tweeted to ign, asking if ign cheated, because the support rate of black myth: wukong dropped from 90% to 74% within an hour.

because there were so many doubts, peer schneider, one of the co-founders of ign, also tweeted a response to this matter.he first said that this kind of voting is for entertainment purposes and is a fan vote, and ign will not make any changes to the votes. he then said that the change in the votes was due to the removal of robot votes, which simply means that the deliberate vote manipulation was removed. finally, he said that this is not the final result, and there are still several months of decisive battles.

this response is even more interesting. that is to say, ign believes that there are cases of robot vote-rigging in "black myth: wukong", so they deleted the robot votes. many netizens questioned whether ign deliberately discredited "black myth: wukong". in response, peer schneider responded again, denying the discrediting of "black myth: wukong", and bluntly said: ign's view on "black myth: wukong" has always been positive, and before the release of "black myth: wukong", it had cooperated with game science. don't be manipulated by those who deliberately create negative emotions.

ign originally gave black myth: wukong a score of 8, which is indeed a pretty good score. however, in the voting for the game of the year, only black myth: wukong plummeted, while other games were rising steadily. in addition, some netizens have calculated that in this 1vs1 duel, only black myth: wukong's duel rounds increased dramatically, but its winning rate was extremely low.elden ring》 and "final fantasy 7" have basically not changed. as for the winning rate, "astro robot" skyrocketed first, and then it was the turn of "elden ring" and "final fantasy 7" to skyrocket. it is really abnormal.

in the current atmosphere, it feels like it may still be difficult for black myth: wukong to really win the game of the year award. all we can do is try our best. every player knows what kind of game it is. a game with sales of 20 million+ and a positive review rate of over 96% doesn't really need any false reputation.

so, do you have anything to say about this matter? welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
