In a bad-vibes moment, they’re denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that’s not something I can find a real explanation for other than “We made DC’s Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can”.
Not OP but I don’t visit IGN or give their opinions any weight because they’re paid shills who overscore every single AAA game, especially if its on the most popular console that gives them the most views.
Also they hired NXGamer who is an out and proud dedicated Sony fanboy.
