At least you're reliable with your stream of articles.

News articles I am generally up to date, however, sales articles are falling behind as ioi has not updated the hardware figures.

Well that's not your fault.

Its because there has not been enough prayer to the gods of VGC.The moment people dedicate more to them(sign for suporters), the faster we will get that sweet sweet numbers!

In all seriousness, its because ioi is not updating it.And why he is not doing it?Who knows.But the most likely answer is that he just dosent feel like doing it.

That makes no sense, this site makes him mid 6 figures a year minimum (I know this for a fact as I am in the internet marketing space) and he doesn't "feel" like it? I seriously doubt thats the reason.

If you have been following the site for a while, and especially the drama the lack of number update caused last year(and the consequent transfer of some of the responsabilities to Machina), then you would know that, according to the veterans here, that ioi is not as invested in the site as he used to, maybe due to the site not being as big as it was, and that he is ,at the moment, working at other projects, which obviosly takes his time.And if you need further proof, if you go to his profile page, is not unusual to see that he hasnt been online for 2 or 3 weeks in a row sometimes, further proof that he is simply not invested anymore in this site(or at least not as much)

Edit:Plus, the fact that the software numbers is not always up to date is because the site has constant bugs, which prevents Machina from doing his work.This in part means that ioi dosent hire someone to fix the damn issues.I mean, he dosent even let our current super-programmer Trunks to do his work(which he does for free, by the way), because he dosent have full access to the site code, which prevent him from fixing said issues.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

He doesn't feel like it, because even without doing anything he is still getting his paycheck

I guess Trucks doesn't have enough access to fix the bugs that keep Machina from doing hardware and sometimes software and Ioi can't really be bothered to fix anything.

Its just like last year! It was hell for this site, and it got pretty bad at one point. I think our worst was 3 months.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Could the bugs be from the 9 million advertisements?

So, when are the supporters getting refunds?

The supporters program was an idea to combat adverts and to give 3 votes instead of one on comments on the front page, they can still do that (for some reason)
