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".

"But, we chased all the trends, even if they were incongruous with the property! Why don't people want our game Uncle Phil? Oh well, time to go bury it, maybe we can get a tax write off for this like the Batgirl movie."

Alternatively: "We've changed nothing after all the negative feedback, and we're all out of ideas."
