it house reported on september 28 that ign recently held a 2024 annual game voting list event. the strange drop in votes for "black myth: wukong" triggered discussions among players around the world. it house’s inquiry today found that this domestic 3a masterpiece once again topped the ign annual game voting list.

the top five currently on the list are:

"black myth: wukong" 76.2%

"elden circle: shadow of the golden tree" 72.4%

"final fantasy 7: rebirth" 70.2%

"sword star" 65%

"jedi submarine 2" 64.3%

it is worth mentioning that ign also responded to the voting controversy again on its official website. they revealed that earlier this year, ign launched a new version of its face-off tool, which is used to create ranked lists of games, movies, tv shows and other content.it generates a personal ranked list of players while also mixing players' votes with everyone else's to create a community ranking。

on february 22, following the launch of several big 2024 games, ign launched "what's your game out of the year?" as an experiment to add new games to the mix. this is an informal test that asks a random question about how people are feeling in the moment.ign says it was never put forward as an official game of the year community poll。

because the community ranking is based on win rate, not the total number of votes the game received (similar to pk form). this means that the new content added in november will likely exceed the content added in may, simply because it wins more, not more times.

according to ign,the campaign "exploded dramatically" late last week, black myth: wukong fans discovered the face-off page and saw their favorite game just one step away from the top spot, with a massive amount of traffic flooding into the page. over the weekend, the win rate of "black myth: wukong" rose all the way to an "astronomical figure" of 90.4%. in the past few days, the standoff has garnered nearly twice as many votes as in the past six months.

the more people paying attention to something, the more likely someone will try to ruin the fun. in this case, it seems that someone who knew this page was being watched closely figured out a way toquickly put tens of thousands of votes against "black myth: wukong" into the system, reducing it to over 60% within a few hours.

ign emphasized,during this time, no one at ign tampered with the outcome of this showdown in any way. over the past few days, ign has been investigating what happened and how face-offs can make people happy instead of angry. here's a look at voting activity in the main areas where people participated from september 21 to 24 (in hourly terms).

ign further wrote,since face-offs are not limited to logged-in users, there is no way to distinguish which votes are real and which are fake, so the exact number of suspect votes cannot simply be removed. however, in the interest of fairness, ign has decided to remove all downvotes from the period when the black myth: wukong community and engineers believe cheating is most likely, during which black myth: wukong's support is declining at an impossible rate — — lost a total of 46,000 votes. when posting,this change brings black myth: wukong back to the top spot on the list with a 76% win rate."this is the best solution we can give based on the information we have," ign said.
