In an X/Twitter post on December 21, MrBeast called out a particularly negative review of Beast Games and defended the show. The review in question was from IGN, which scored the show a 2, and described it as “painful.”

When responding to another X user who called the negative reception to Beast Games a “shock value” response, the YouTuber responded in the comments section with his thoughts on the matter.

“Sad one person who doesn’t like me can just label something a thousand people poured their lives into a 2/10 when it’s clearly not.”
