Ugh, the way internet sites go. Well VGChartz was a smart idea, and a well built system. Whoever made this site was bound to cash in sooner or later. Sucks for me, Lamborghini for him.

Har. With the site's revenue, he needs to pay his own salary, Chris' salary and various amounts of money to different people (including myself). He needs to pay for bandwidth to keep the site running. He needs to subsidise the cost of attending conventions. He needs to pay for the costs of tracking data (because it does cost money).
He's not doing this for the hell of it, he's doing it to bring in revenue that the site needs.

Yea, but do you really need to charge the rumored $1,000 a person? That's a lot. Also, advertizing generates a substantial amount of cash. I think the site could remain afloat without subscriptions. They could at least not limit the data we had acess to for free before. I understand about charging for extras to pay for costs, but it sucks that old data is now severly limited.

Advertising brings in lot of revenue? Join gamrFeed and you'll see how much revenue advertising brings in >_>
