That's the trope called Network Decay. IGN originally stood for Imagine Games Network, so anything not games related is deviating from it's original remit.

Which is fine as long as IGN are still producing content on games and if there has been approval from its audience at every stage about branching out. The remit isn't set in stone.

Ironic that a discussion about remits is in a thread about a programme that was axed in addition to other shows for a similar audience and a remit to ensure such content was produced wasn't adhered to. It may well be that 13-15 year olds could have enjoyed Doctor Who, Waterloo Road, bits of Eastenders and some of what BBC3 has had to offer in the last 15 years but that's immaterial as none of this was created specifically for them, which is/was part of the BBC's remit but they have failed to do.
