Forums - Sales Discussion - The Countdown to No Numbers March

ioi has probably found a lover and they ran away together

or he is just looking for ways to improve the sales data



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Yeah, this is pretty worrisome! Can be good for business either... If ioi is shutting down the site I'm all for moving somewhere else with the rest of everyone!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It has to be a stealth shutdown. I guess as long as it has enough hits we can at least keep the site online for the forum and the games database

I don't think the site is shutting down. Used to worry it might, but now with Trucks being taken on to do all the changes and the merger with Gamewise (or whatever it is called) that just doesn't seem likely. Why would ioi bother doing any of that if he was just planning on shutting down soon anyways.


Can we say that ioi might doing/thinking of things to improve his methods maybe?And that's why he is absent and hasn't post any numbers since the end of february?



The mods also don't know what is going on?

I doubt it. I think it's more likely something in his personal life. Maybe he's gone on holiday, maybe he has a new girlfriend so is busy there, maybe he forgot to pay his internet bill and it is taking awhile getting it up and running again. Who knows.


Oh like me last october,I was absent for almost 1month,I could be for further but I broke  and use the site on mobile(What an odyssey)but to be honest,I don't think that ioi will ever have that problem,come on he has a site that is quite popular...If you know what I mean!:P

As for holidays,in March?I can't believe that...

As for the girlfriend,as I have understood,ioi has a  mature and measured personality,so he wouldn't let something like this to preoccupuy him!

It might have to do with his job,he has a job right?Or his sites are his jobs?I don't think so...

Or something unpleasant,:( like a health problem,something that I wish to not be true...

I can tell you with 100% accuracy that it sold...

 

More than 0 copies! :)


Hahahahahh,come on don't tease me!One day you will visit again Greece and I ll find you for vegeance!Watch your back bro!:P



I joined the site last year to keep tabs on the numbers. Right or wrong they provided healthy (and sometimes comedic debate) but especially this year, the updates are less and less (and seemingly less accurate to boot) and we are now a month behind again with no word of anything. What once was quite regular, now seems to have just stopped and worryingly like others have said, not even the mods know.

This, the website is widely none for its made up numbers and now even the sites users are catching on. Ioi up and quit out of embarrassment.
