WRONG

GameRankings editor Lee Alessi writes today on his GameSpot blog, "No, I didn't get rid of their data 'on purpose'. I honestly have no clue how it disappeared and before anyone asks---no, I didn't delete the site. I am no Tech but I will take a guess and say there will have to be a restored backup to get close to 10,000 in reviews and 60,000 in other articles back on GR."

As usual, a false story comes out and everybody runs with it regardless of how untrue it sounds. Now you have the actual truth once again.


How does that prove him wrong? Were the reviews there before? Yes. Are they there now? No. They were removed. It may not have been intentional, but they were still removed. If you can't post respectfully then please save all of us the trouble of your company and don't post at all.


It's pretty simple.  It wasn't removed, they just disappeared through error.  When everything disappears off the main page of VGCharz it wasn't removed, it's due to an error.  It's the same way Harmonix just comes out and says Activision won't let them put out the patch and everybody starts railing on Activision for it.  Then you wait a little bit and Activision responds and things become a little more clear. 

It was a respectful post and your welcome for spending the time to get the link and quote and providing an answer for the whole thread.  Things like this should always register on peoples BS meters and hopefully they'll wait and find out more next time.
