Never going to pay... i would leave vgchartz forever

Okay, my questions still:

1. Any idea of a release date for VGC 3.0? Will it change the look of the site? Will it include a feature that I've bothered Talonman about for at least a year now?

2. How will confidentiality of the data work? Am I not allowed to discuss games out of the Top 50? Will this create a bridge of knowledge between those who don't have memberships and those who do?

It's not all bad. If you can sucker a few people into paying, that should help the site and over time may improve the legitimacy of ioi's numbers.

honestly if i was running the show i would have wat is available now as paid and for free ud get hw data monthly and top 100-200 SW monthly the GD would just show how many sold in each region and maybe the first 10 weeks rather than a full timeline

this way the site would be more simpler and might run faster for those who just like the forums

the weekly task of posting up that many #s must be a task for who ever is involved i can imagine ud get more people who'd pay for that then u would for wat ur about to do

in my opinion most of the users now that came here for the #s dont really have interest for them as they did once b4 especially on a weekly basis and that they are attracted to the forums more so they wouldnt really be affected if u did it that way

and about the thread title ioi i just thought that burgrimmar was the one to change it wonder how he did it but now u say it was u

you'll also be surprised on how much sales data is out there and how much WILL be out there in the coming years

Who is this ioi person?

I really don't understand what's going on... All I need is the top 10 and occasional game comparison search... Will I have to pay for that info?

As ioi has said at least ten times in this thread:

• The weekly top 50 for each region and WW will remain free.
• All comparisons and totals will remain free.

This isn't really that hard to grasp, people. You're not being "forced to pay" for VGChartz. You have the option to pay for very rarely used current features and new features that will be included in VGC 3.0.

Maybe you need to send your sarcasm meter to the shop. lol.

I'd prefer to try the wiki approach first; set up a target monthly goal for donations, for example, and keep a chart/graph of it in the corner on the front page, maybe, showing how close the site is to meeting the goal for the month, etc, and quick link where we can click to donate money here, money there. I'd most definitely donate some $$$, and I'd rather do that than have a monthly subscription....I hate monthly bills and such.

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood. My Modnation Racers beta refuses to work properly

In a bad mood, I am incapable of detecting sarcasm and assume everyone is just being annoying.

It's like paying for microtransactions where the data is already there but the publisher/developer wants to charge the player more.

I'll pass.
