Yerm said: I enjoyed VGC for the public forums, but in the last few months there has been a steep decline in the number of interesting posts. It's really just another news outlet with a comment section at this point, of which I have several outlets for. The real nail in the coffin for we was when VGC stopped showing weekly game sales, now just showing generic shipment updates, which I am not a fan of. |
The problem is that if they persist with software, the sales data from sources will be more and more incomplete leading to worse and worse predictions. That could cripple the sites reputation for good in the long term.
They made the right call. We're just feeling the short term effects of that decision. Hopefully e3 will provide the site with a small boost that will snowball into next generation.
