I'm currently pretty happy with things. I miss the sales estimates, though I know they're not coming back. It would have been nice to just relabel them "physical retail estimates" just to have a rough digital-physical breakdown. I also miss the amount of regional data we had. Maybe that'll improve as we get more data, but even older games that we have official shipments for the totals of have lost their longstanding regional estimates. I miss that data, even if it was probably rough it at least gave me a general sense of which series did well in which regions in which eras of that series (for example, Japan liked early Zelda, USA likes modern Zelda more, everyone loves BotW). God I miss that data. Now all I see is a bunch of "N/A" everywhere. If it was about digital games, then couldn't you have kept the regional data for games before the digital era?

I had a weird thought. If there are a bunch of lurkers, perhaps if you gave them an anonymous way to give feedback, they'd tell you what it would take to get them to come out of lurking and join us? You'd probably get a vocal group of assholes that would use it as an opportunity to troll the mods, but you might get some sincere people that are just shy for some reason? Or it might just be a bunch of banned ex users trash talking you that you'd be able to recognize by the IP. I dunno, just a thought, might be interesting to see what the lurkers are thinking.
