That's one thing that needs to be updated. It needs to add digital. A team could handle all the extra labor better

The sales are obviously the initial draw to the site and it is how I stumbled across the place a couple of years ago. However the numbers have been sporadic for months and I pretty much only come here to check the pulse of the gaming community as that is part of my job. As a business owner myself I find the lack of transparency from this sites owner to be puzzling. If I operated my business that way I would have went under years ago. Although I will admit that I do not know anything about whether this venture is his primary job or if it is just some sort of hobby. If it is indeed a hobby then he can certainly update when he likes. If it is a primary business then the lack of updates and communication is an awful practice. Either way, though, one would think that you would keep visitors informed. That is just common courtesy. Even his moderators/administrators do not seem to be "in the loop" as to what the problem is. That or they are unwilling/unable to communicate it to the visitors. I think people would be a lot less irritated if they guy at the very least regularly kept the sites visitors up to date on what is going on.

The sales are interesting and the topics they create are certainly missed by many from what I have seen. Since there are a ton of communities out there that cater to gaming I would not think this site is not long for this world without a shift in focus or a return to regular sales updates. Perhaps this website could survive as strictly a gaming forum with articles and reviews for the long haul. I think most users would just like to know if that is indeed where it is going.

A little transparency would go a long way I suspect.

It's frustrating to see the charts still say April 4 2015 and May 16 2015 respectably. 4th of July will come and I'm sure the charts will continue to be frozen...

I'm not sure why people are that bothered. The numbers were a load of rubbish anyway, guesses plucked out of thin air which later got corrected when 'real' numbers from reputable sources were released.

i stoped caring about this long ago (already lost hope)

How else are you going to get the attention of ioi, I'd say post more of these threads until we get some answers, he's basically weening me off VG Chartz if we go any longer without numbers I can probably leave for good.

I only come for the forum and community nowadays, which is sad, because the numbers is what drew me in at first. The news is almost always already old-ish when it gets released here. So besides the numbers and the forum, this place doesn't have a lot going for it.

Is there a different gaming site with similar community? I always thought this site had a pretty well balanced percentage of fans from the Big 3, so that's kinda what I'm looking for....

This is just ridiculous. It's been THREE MONTHS....

BUT, WEBSITE GOD, YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!!!

I hardly care anymore. I've given up on the numbers not only because they take so long to update but also because they'll become increasingly irrelevant due to digital sales with each passing week and it's been proven time and time again that quite often things are just plain wrong. It's just better to go off official shipment data, even if that only comes once a quarter at most.

I come here to the site mostly because I'm curious about what people have to say about games and VGC still seems to be a decent enough source for gaming news.
