if we go by the numbers of views the political/relgious threads get, it shows that they are integral to this website userbase.

If that is the case then the site is doing something very wrong.

You actually think people come here to discuss games? Where?
Most of the threads are about Meta scores, sales, predictions, charts, NPD, Japan weeklies, etc.
Then there is the "PRO will otusell your mom", "X vs Y" and "PHILL SPENCER HURTS MY FEELINGS WITH HIS RECENT STATEMENTS" types of threads.
Not many threads discuss the core of the games, elements of gameplay, stories and whatnot. The community just aren't interested in these topics, there were multiple attempts to push these kinds of threads but they never took off.
The usual pattern here on vgc is that once the game gets released and the hype is gone, we only talk about it if it achieves a milestone or ... LOL FLOPS.
I've been visiting vgc for so many years and this is how it's always been.
