Hopefully you disable ads for certain sites then. Some sites deliver great content without obnoxious ads, and it sucks if they don't get their well deserved ad-revenue. (FYI I'm not neccesarily talking about VGC )

If I visit a website on a regular basis, I'll disable it to test the ad waters and depending on the ads, i'll keep it disabled or not.

Seems about like me. I've actually disabled adblocker on Youtube. :-3

Oh man this sucks :(

I remember being an avid GT watcher back in the day. I liked their reviews enough and remember watching their video game retrospectives (their LoZ and RE ones come to mind) and loving them.

Hope the employees and everyone else ends up landing on their feet after all is said and done.

They did one for Resident Evil?

Yep, if I remember correctly they did. They basically talked in depth about each game and painted a picture of the series timline.

I had a small conversation with Machina regarding that and the Prediction League back in November. This is what he had to say regarding the color scheme: "I'd like to remove the gamrConnect branding (and colour scheme) at some point. Use the VGC scheme and properly reunify the site."

Ok.

I'd also like to see VGC like it used to be and have new colors. It would be a nice feature to be able to change the site color, if only to match our prefered brand (with red, blue, green and... we need at least one more color for PC).

Me, too. I guess we are going to have t owait a while before any of that happens though.

Almost certainly. Ad rates for gaming sites are ~ half what they were in 2010 for major gaming websites. It's why so many sites have had to close or scale back operations.

I've previously seen stats that indicate ad-blocker usage amongst gamers on videogame news sites is higher than even ad-blocker on porn sites.

I don't get how people don't realise that stuff like ad blockers on websites you love is effectively choking off their revenue stream.

As for VCG. A more mobile device friendly setup IMO should be the next priority.

RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

not all too surprised.. they've been downsized so much that it seemed like getting shut down was right around the corner. Sucks for your jobs though.
