When Konami Blacklisted IGN Over Castlevania -- CLS Side Quest
From 2010 through 2013, IGN was victimized by the single most unprofessional bout of nonsense directed toward it by the publisher Konami. The drama surrounded Konami’s and MercurySteam’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow trilogy, beginning with IGN having the audacity to call the original game “good,” and ending with the temporary blacklisting of the entire site, and… well… me!
