Yay! Lets all whine and moan about the site, but stay here anyway!

| stof said: Gazz is right. Unless it's about sales data it shouldn't be here. We should shut down the forums immediately since they aren't dedicated to collecting sales data. Everyone who posts in forums should instead be at video game stores watching what people buy and writing it down for the site! |
Hilarious. I should probably remove all the games from my collection and lock my account. Im going to base at Wall-Mart I will do updates every tuesday, Megaman2 out

FANTASTIC idea!!! I think I'll get started right now by deleting all user accounts from the site - we don't need a community here anyway it's just fluff, all we need is a front page with numbers...

I have already started removing the games from my collection, I will be setting out a stall outside wall mart to monitor what the consumer is buying, it seems Killzone 2 is in high demand 
| TalonMan said: God, this whole topic is such a weak argument. Let's make something very clear here: The people doing the reviews are simply 'hobbyists' - they are not paid for their work and are solely writing reviews on their own time and at their own pace. They are community members like everyone else here, but because of their higher standards and practices, have simply been granted access to tools on this site that already exist. So, with that said, I really must ask - how the HELL does anything they are doing affect the quality of our sales numbers??? One has absolutely nothing to do with the other, so I really don't understand the argument here. If Brett himself was spending all of this time writing reviews and such, your argument might have merit - but since he is not, this entire thread is a waste of space. "Focus on the core business to be deemed as a trustworthy site. Not on have been reviews" - That's what Brett is doing and that's all he is doing. Everything else is done by community members and has no affect on what he does and how he does it. |
This.
Let me ask you something, Gazz: If we brought you on as a contributor (were you so inclined), you're saying we'd bring down the quality of the site from what it is now?
Well, that could be a bad example, as I'd actually agree on that one...
I live right by 2 GameStops and 1 Best Buy. I'll be reporting game sales for a 10 block radius in the 94608 zip code. Now we only need a few million more volunteers for our sales tracking street team.




Honestly I don't even see your argument of us doing too many old games as being all that relevant either. Of the 6 reviews on the front page there are 3 that are new and 3 that are old. Really it's not that bad, if you don't like old game reviews just focus on the other 3. My Ar Tonelico 2 review could use more views.
