Why does VGChartz link to articles on N4G in the news section? Is it a sister site?

The issue I see is that the articles on N4G are poorly written compared to other sites, including VGChartz. They seem to lack basic spelling and grammar skills. The "articles" are at about the quality level of a typical forum post - certainly not good enough to be featured the way they are. Almost every article has a mistake that someone with a grade 5 education would catch.

Why do you have to be a Grammar Nazi?

You do know N4G is a hub for gaming news right? N4G staff doesn't write articles, they link to them.....

It's a tough situation. While they do bring viewers and produce hits for Vgchartz, they also degrade our news section (in my opinion). Some of our greatest and most popular news articles have been written by Vgchartz members and certainly weren't linked in from some other site. Unfortunately, avoiding information overload isn't a pressing concern for the site's designers.
