Its got nothing to do with the numbers. Vgchartz has been banned on GAF since its inception. This is because of a fallout between ioi and GAF.

Please stop making as if this has something to do with the numbers...

I might be misremembering because it has been years, but didn't ioi start out posting his estimates on GAF before making VGC?  It definitely has to do with the numbers.

It does seem like certainty in the numbers has decayed over the years.  4-5 years ago the official line seemed to always be that the numbers were within 10% of NPD and the like.

Based on the threads here going back years...i remember the beef going deeper than just numbers.

There seems to be some issue between ioi and one of the GAF higher ups (Evilore?). GAF is awfully hostile to any mention of Vgc, a bit overly harsh for a free site that just gives out sales estimations dont you think? Its not like Vgcharts proclaims its numbers to be the most reliable numbers ever.

But meh i probably dont know the full story either...but im certain that their current/official reason for banning any mention of Vgchartz is not THEE reason why it is banned.
