 A better-coded version of the charts they had before would be lovely as well. I'm excruciatingly disappointed in the fact that they're gone now.

Again - this is not complete. The whole point of doing this is to give people a 'snap shot' of the game and then allow them to 'drill down' into other areas that interest them. There are ALOT of benefits to having a format like this - most particular, load times are greatly reduced and, to be quite frank, many people don't WANT to see every single detail everytime they view a game.

Sometimes, people just want to see who published a game, and that's all they want. Other people may be curious about the exact sales timeline, summaries, comments, etc. - those areas will still be available, just not crowed all over the main 'game profile' screen...

 

Considering the fact that this site is primarily about gaming sales, and it's called VGChartz... it seems that those things should be "crowed" all over the main game profile screen.

 Just a thought.

Anyhow, so long as the charts come back in some way and the layout of everything is tinkered with and perfected, I'll be happy.

 

I still don't understand why you guys would put out a beta as a replacement for the previous working setup.
