I think the real issue with IGN is that the site seems more focused on big budget titles then anything indie, also their reviews are not to be trusted either, seems most of the front page stuff is mainly games that are tied to a publisher, no doubt the site gets publisher funding, and the funding makes for sky rocketed scores for games that might not deserve it
personally I don’t think the site is very good, sure if you search for Grim Dawn, the KS page gets a mention, but I don’t see it ever appearing on the front page, as I highly doubt they will ever bother, because there are many big budget titles that are better in their eyes, publisher backed
