被批評「評分注水」的IGN滿分遊戲《混音青春》被玩家發現，曾獲得澳大利亞維多利亞州政府機構VicScreen提供9萬澳元公共資金。也就是說，這是一款背後有政府出資贊助的遊戲。
儘管遊戲時長較短，Steam玩家數量更是慘不忍睹，但它卻獲得了包括IGN在內的廣泛媒體好評，以及大量記者和網路主播的稱讚。
If this game had accomplished anything, it's revealing to the world how rotten and corrupt the video game industry has become. At this point, the sickness looks to be terminal.
在社交媒體上，有玩家質疑，《混音青春》背後的好評到底是不是金錢買來的：
IGN's reputation... is now as disconnected from gamers as it can get, I'm sure everyone of us here has a list of games they love, and I can say with confidence that 99.9% of us wouldn't give that Number 1 a 10/10. This is a mythical none existant game. "10/10" 😮💨😒😐 Yikes
Is this framing supposed to make us hate the fact that it received state funding?
