It seems if you don't like something these days you are automatically labelled a hater.

I no longer like IGN, having visited their site and the site's predecessors for something like ten years but they no longer have enough content on a regular basis for me to justify visiting their site. For my mind they have lost touch with the core values of the fans they supposedly service which wouldn't matter if they weren't still held aloft by some people as the bastion of gaming journalism and reviewing credibility.

Perhaps in this era of divided gaming values it is impossible for a single gaming site to service and satisfy all gaming fans in just too hard and IGN have made the decision to stick with the core values with which they are comfortable and you can't blame them for that.

I have no doubt that some people just don't like that IGN has given certain Wii games low scores but don't assume that everyone who doesn't like IGN is simply a hater.
