I've definitely given up on the sales of this site. I made one last hope thread, but now I really don't care. It's a forum, now. I've honestly even been thinking of making a Tumblr blog to mark my thoughts on the industry instead of making them threads here. At least there it can build a resume and encourage me to care about the grammar and editing.
VGC's problem isn't just keeping up to date - it's modernizing. It's out of date in so many ways, both inside and outside of sales data; the lack of digital sales being my biggest issue. It doesn't matter how unfeasible it is. It's a large and relevant part of the industry that there is no intent on covering adequetely. I'm sure the issues are complicated and there is an effort behind the scenes to fix some of it, but good intentions only matter so much. Results or bust.
