What? No it doesn't. Ziff Davis, Inc., which owns IGN, is estimated to control about 40% of the gaming journalism market. That's a lot, but it's not a monopoly.
And the video isn't even claiming that IGN is a monopoly. It's just saying that they're pretentious, activist, and don't understand what makes games good in the eyes of gamers.
Fandom is a direct competitor to IGN, and they own GameSpot, Giant Bomb, Metacritic, and GameFAQs.
Future PLC is another competitor, and they've got GamesRadar+, PC Gamer, and Tom's Guide.
Yeah he does. Here is the clip from his longer video where he points out IGN bought up "most of the gaming news websites in the western world."

Wellll... if he's saying that, then he's wrong. They simply do not.
