What it means

A screenshot shows IGN’s 2024 Game of the Year poll, where Black Myth: Wukong wins the public vote, while an IGN post highlights Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as the community’s top game. The joke is that IGN supposedly created a public voting system, then ignored or denied the result because they disliked the winner. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to biased polls, gaming-media hypocrisy, or refusing to acknowledge an inconvenient outcome.
