IGN did actually make a non-apology along the lines of “well they should have just commented on the accusations”, but the studio has no obligation responding to accusation from a bunch of people of some dying medium. Ignoring them is no doubt the best thing the studio can do.

It’s not like you’re making anything up without any actual evidence, and yet, people just want to hate anything with the words “sexist” or “DEI” because that means the party opposing them is automatically wrong.

It’s not a contrarian stance when you’re right, like in this case.
And people are still trying to convince you that you’re wrong, so you have to ignore comments if you know you’re right as well.
