It will be harder to follow E3 now on VGC. Too bad .... I am still totally lost when I try to find news and so on. Please, bring back VGC 2.0 !

I don't understand the confusion. All news is on gamrFeed. ALL NEWS! Even previews and reviews! You won't miss a thing if you stick to gamrFeed.
We've also dedicated a special page for Reviews and Previews for those that are really into that (gamrReview). It also contains our game database.
ALL numbers are on VGChartz.
The whole community is on gamrConnect.
I know some people honestly are not a fan of the new layout and that's fine. To be honest, I think you guys will get used to it. But a lot of you would be happier if you just explored! In fact, read the hub page! You know the one you were directed to first? It'll explain a lot :)
And it won't be hard to follow VGC at E3. We will have a mini-site. And everyone will be able to find it easily. That is where all of our E3 articles will be linked. It's going to be great. We are going to 7 press conferences and have booked over 50 private appointments with all of your favorite video game companies. There will be nearly 200 articles posted in that one week. We are also bringing camera equipement, so you may see us on video, as well. And if anyone is in the LA area, come out to our VGChartz E3 party. A bunch of video game companies have donated thousands of dollars worth of raffle prizes plus you'll get to hear two amazing video game bands live.

It's just harder to get around at the moment. I was messing around with my game collection on gamrConnect yesterday when I realized Yoshi's Story was missing. I type Yoshi's Story into the search bar, and it tells me there are no users with that name. >_>
Turns out I have to go to an entirely separate website to search for the game, and only then can I add it to my collection. I managed to get it done through gamrReview.
Then a little while later I was chatting about sales with some people on the forums, and decide to go look up the figures for a few games. I annoyingly head on over to gamrReview since I oddly can't search for games/sales on a forum dedicated to discussing such things, only to find that the pages for each game on gamrReview contain no sales information whatsoever! You get total sales when initially searching for the game, but you don't get total sales, weekly sales, or anything of the sort when accessing the actual page, let alone the ability to access graphs. Turns out I can only get that on VGChartz.
So I head there.
The simplest of tasks now take forever because everything is split into different websites. It's silly.
I used to have the ability to search for games, threads, and general information from any page while on the forums, and searching for users was only a single click away. Now I have to head to different websites to find any of that information. What used to take 2-3 clicks total now takes 5-6, effectively doubling the time it takes to get anything done.
The concept of having entire sections dedicated to the various portions of the site is sound, but the way things are currently integrated together just doesn't work well.
