to be honest.. i don't think thats legal.. there should be a way to opt-out on one of the sites..

You don't think what is legal, creating dupe accounts on Gamewise? I haven't checked the legalities but I don't really see an issue with it? We can always hide them and they just get activated if you chose to if people prefer that and some don't want to have a public profile over there? It just means that you will lose your game collections at some point then.

It was intended as an option to continue to use your data that you have spend time adding (i.e games you play / rate) rather than anything else.

Yup.. it's illegal cause we opted  in on vgchartz.. we made an account here.. not on gamewise..  legally you should have asked if you could transfer our account and information to the site called gamewise.. it's a seperate site.. (is gamewise in legal terms a separte company? that would make it even worse)  i know that it has the some owner but that doesn't mean you can use the information gathered at one site onto another one..  that's like a big no no in the european privacy rules.. with every change users should have the abilty to opt-out if they don't like it..

talking about privacy.. I don't think there is a cookie warning on this site? you should add one cause a site this big based in the UK could get a fine.. I think the max fine is like £500.000
