The main reason I’m writing this is that I’m a fan of IGN. I’ve used their website and services for years—I started my own website largely because of IGN. Yet despite the long-standing relationship, the event I am describing today has become the biggest problem I’ve ever had with them.
The IGN Summer of Gaming Expo started off with a bang on July 6th, and the live streams from our prime coverage team were just part of the fun. From the early morning opening ceremonies to the late evening closing ceremonies, there was plenty of gaming to go around.
I watched a grandmother play a game on the Xbox One. She was able to beat her family in a game of trivia. The mother was pretty shocked because I think she was expecting her to win.
Yesterday, IGN hosted the first day of the Summer of Gaming Expo 2021, which featured a number of games. We’ve summarized the IGN Summer of Gaming Expo for you.
