據海外社交平台知名爆料者「Pirat_Nation」分享，遊戲媒體IGN為作品《混音青春》給出罕見的10/10 滿分評測，該評分結果出爐後，迅速在玩家社群引發巨大爭議與大量負面反彈。
IGN is getting massive backlash after giving Mixtape a rare 10/10. The game follows three teens on their last night of high school in 1990s California, and also has a weird scene involving minors Most X users accuse IGN of bias due to the game’s diverse cast and representation, calling it review inflation compared to lower scores on other titles. Gamers who played it called it a completely garbage game. Personally I wont spend a single minute of my life in this shit
大批X平台用戶紛紛發聲質疑IGN評測存在明顯偏見與評分膨脹問題。玩家普遍認為，《混音青春》憑藉角色陣容與題材多元性獲得滿分待遇，但反觀其他優質大作卻常被打出偏低分數，雙標感十分明顯，媒體評測公信力再度受到玩家質疑。
不少玩家直接發表觀點表達不滿，直言難以認同IGN此次滿分評判。有玩家直言記下此次評分爭議，對IGN評測標準不再信服；還有玩家犀利吐槽，獲評滿分的這類作品往往缺少實際操作樂趣，製作水準難以匹配滿分定位。
When the 10/10 "Game" often doesn't require input. Failed Filmmakers
也有玩家拿近期熱門作品《赤血沙漠》進行對比發聲，表示《混音青春》實際玩家受眾規模有限，而《赤血沙漠》市場熱度極高，銷量有望衝擊600萬套甚至衝刺千萬量級。玩家藉此感慨，當下傳統遊戲媒體的評分話語權正在弱化，屬於遊戲媒體主導評價的時代已然走向落幕。
Who cares? The game they astroturfed got 1k modern audience players while Crimson Desert is on its way to sell 6 million copies and eventually 10+. The era of game journalists is over.
此次《混音青春》滿分風波，也讓玩家長久以來對IGN評分尺度不一、立場傾斜、評測注水等不滿情緒集中爆發，再度引發業界關於遊戲媒體評分客觀性、公信力以及行業話語權走向的廣泛討論。
