 Whoever wrote VGC's article doesn't seem to realise that Kotaku arn't game journalists...

The news section.  Our greatest weakness.

I still think the author has a point, even if it comes across poorly, and with poor chosen targets. Many actual gaming news sites are not up to speed on their content, and tend towards sensationalism and/or sexism and/or other things in some pieces. I have read pieces like that on VGC before, although I rarely read up on news here anymore, so it's hard to tell if it still happens.

But poking at blogs is the wrong way to do it, even if the people behind them come off as "reporters".

Helpful reply, that... mainly because it shows me what NOT to do.

like no kidding. I saw the article heading when I typed in vgchartz.com (to get to here) and I just rolled my eyes a thought "Well ain't this irony"

Seriously whoever the hell  "Joseph Jackmovich" is we need to stop staff from doing these pointless articles, it just makes us look bad.

It's his opinion, as clearly stated in the article, and he has every right to post it.

Doesn't stop it from being completely ludicrous, of course.

I'm incredibly surprised that people from big gaming sites read the articles here, let alone respond to them. Looks like I missed a lot in the two(?) years I was gone.

 

I assume the article is in reaction to the writer's favorite of four "major" releases getting less then perfect review scores recently. You know the ones.

SNOWBLIND! YOU'RE BACK!

Basically, VGC is the VGChartz Network, TalonMan quit, there was a major staff reshuffling, people actually read gamrFeed (real people!) and reviews are booming.

Only thing not going well is the sales data, actually.
