Trust me, the article is full of inaccuracies. The NYTimes will be printing a correction.
Once NYT did that (print a correction), would you (or any other NeoGAF member) be kind enough to let us know in this thread ? I hope that VGC members who keep track on this topic will see the correction, and post it in their site. Otherwise, I would have to spent more bandwidth to go there, and post it myself (which I would hate to do).
Just thought I'd pass that on.  I don't really trust myself to definitely remember to check. 

Someday, apu, you'll get unlimited Internet access.  And on that day, the Dark Side shall begin to take its hold on you.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

 I checked some of their corrections today and saw no correction on the article in question.  Sorry "not-banned" site.

Wow. That is quite a thread of hate.

I been lurking around NeoGAF for a while now, and I registered an account a while back that's currently pending activation. Tbh, I think they have one of the largest and most well-knowledged gaming communities out there, and the fact that trolls get banned immediately, developers post on occasion, and they produce tons of funny gifs was what prompted me to join.

I've always known they've harbored ill-will towards VGC, but I never realized just to what extent it goes. pIt is insane how much hate they have for this site.

If my posting privileges ever get instated, I plan to defend VGC when I can. I just hope I don't get banned for it. :|



I wouldn't even bother. You will get banned for sure.

Neo GAF is okay but.....I was trying to become a member a couple of weeks ago. I signed up and everything and I have to wait for the mods to confirm my e-mail address to make sure I'm not a troll or going to spam with my account.

I have been waiting for about a month now and I still haven't got the permission to become a poster on that site.

Whatever the rules are strict over there if you site anything your banned. Just a immature site that was build on bad reputation. Good thing ioi, left to make VGChartz. Because I couldn't imagine what NeoGAF would be over there if ioi was still there.

Edit: I edit my post because it took offense to certain VGChartz memebers. Sorry for the language :)


They let in new members in large groups at specified times.  They usually let in 1k+ a few times a year.

You'll be perma-banned.

Yeah...not a good idea. Don't worry about defending this site while you're over there; let this site's data speak for itself, and in time things will blow over. Or not. It really doesn't matter in the long run. No, what you can, and should, do is be a good poster, don't be insulting or childish, and just generally do your best to improve the tone of that place. Oh, and make sure you keep posting here too, 'cause we'll miss you other wise.

Looking at what I just wrote, I get the feeling I should have added "and don't forget to brush your teeth every night"... 



lets see how my response goes over, lol

Well then, I may just keep quiet about VGC over there, aside from a few sly remarks or questions in thread like those in the OP.

Is there any reason why NeoGAF hates VGC?

If you stick up for Vgchartz there you will be torn down as if the posters are rabbid wolves and you're a small rabbit. Besides that, a lot of sites don't like Vgchartz.


 Why is that? Of all of the web communities I've been a part of VGchartz's is easily the most knowledgeable. We have our Fanboys but they all use evidence to back up their points. That's more than I can say about NeoGAF.
