i'm not mad at you machina i'm mad at brett. ...but your answer here is complete shit.


brett isn't updating this sites numbers because he is too distracted with side projects therefore please spend my time working on one of brett's side projects...

very insulting.

closing every thread that criticizes brett for treating this site like a non-priority.

very insulting.

Please tell me you'te being sarcastic. 

Why would he be sarcastic?? It's true that the main purpouse of his chief car should have the priority not the side projects and other things.

Don't give away this site's vulnerability. All gaf has to do now is abduct ioi and goodbye VGC numbers.

For some members who are being a little bit mean with ioi and probably justifiably,ioi has a mitigating circumstance,search for Brett Walton biography guys and you will understand!

Had no idea that the numbers relied solely on one guy. Tis too much power for one man!

Good to know. But god forbid anything happens, there should be training for others to pick up the mantle in cases like this. Np though, I can wait.

Reading between the lines of ioi talking about how VGC works over the years , it seems  he is very guarded about the methodology he uses ,and the reluctance to involve others stems not just from the usual fear of others using that methodology means it will get out ,  added to that is the belief that no one else would have the same insight into just how it all comes together , the analogy would be of a chef who has a recipe he doesn't want to share for two reasons (1) he fears it  being used by others to become rivals .(2)  the recipe is just a guideline and it is the chefs way of putting all the ingredients together that makes the difference.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Thanks for sharing what's going on behind the scenes.

 

So... what's Brett involved into? Is McLaren in such a bad shape that they have asked him to come back and help fix their car?
*trying hard not to laugh*


You are very mean.

With Brett or with McLaren?

I do have one question based on the update:

Why would VG Chartz have only 1 person capable of handling the sales numbers when it is such a mission critical part of this site?
