Many God of War Ragnarok reviews awarded the game with a perfect score, or near-perfect score, with one exception. While the main IGN website gave God of War Ragnarok one of its many 10/10 scores, the IGN Korea outlet gave God of War Ragnarok a 6/10, its lowest score to date. Of course, it’s entirely reasonable that one could play the game and come away with a different opinion of it since video games are subjective, but that has not stopped an angry fan from sending a death threat to the reviewer.

Bae Sang Hyun, a Korean game developer and filmmaker who sometimes writes reviews for IGN Korea, wrote the God of War Ragnarok review that gave the game its 6/10 score. The review’s assessment is basically that God of War Ragnarok is too similar to the 2018 God of War game, saying it plays more like DLC to that game as opposed to a full-blown sequel. There are many who disagree with that view, but regardless, one should be allowed to express their opinion on a video game without being called a “Korean lowlife.” The commenter added, “I’ll beat your ass and humble you so good that you wouldn’t even dare write this s***. Imma kill you.”

Unfortunately, this is far from the first time that death threats have been sent over a video game. In fact, death threats have been commonplace in the gaming industry for years, sometimes aimed at reviewers who offer dissenting opinions to the consensus, and other times aimed at game developers themselves. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red was hit with death threats after delaying the game, and The Last of Us 2 Abby actor Laura Bailey received death threats from fans who didn’t like the character.

The anonymity of the Internet means that death threats and general harassment are unlikely to go away any time soon, if ever. It’s just a matter of time until another figure from the gaming industry gets death threats for their work or opinion.

God of War Ragnarok launches November 9 for PS4 and PS5.
