Well the guy makes some valid points. It's one thing to say we do this, it's another to prove it. I'm not going any further than that since ioi seems to have enough issues with me. :b

Why can't the numbers prove themselves? Look at the history and tell me where it's wrong. Then take a look again and tell me where it's right. There's only one place where you cand find WW numbers. Critisizim doesn't matter for the sites popularity. It's actually doing the opposite. Critisize as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact that VGC is the most accurate, cheapest, data rich and easiest to access source for total sales numbers. So trying to bash VGC will just cause more people eventually to end up to the site, since they can't get the numbers anywhere else. So, any publicity is good publicity. And what it comes to Leos question; people don't like the truth. Instead of facing the truth, people attack the messenger. VGC is "easy target", because it's not an authority like the professional trackers. So attacking VGC does somehow seem to offset the fact, that the thing VGC indicates, is happening in reality, which is supported by the professional trackers too. Attacking VGC distracts the conversation from Look at the numbers, the other trackers show the same happening as VGC to Look at the numbers, a 3k difference, it shows VGC and all it's data can't be trusted, the mentality just discredits every trackers notions in terms of "who is winning" and "who is losing", without really saying it.
