Dear PakGamers,

I am super excited and happy to inform you all about the
brand-spanking-new MARKETPLACE

Well you cant see it yet, but its done..and its soooo good :D


Remember this thread :
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f30/improving-your-marketplace-emall-268094/ ?

well this new MP has been cultivated by you guys, Team PG, top pakistani developers and vendors input.

and its got alot of bells and whistles (more on this in a later post). Trust me, its a Pakistani Gamer's, gadget lover's and tech enthusiast's dream.

Its not perfect yet, but we are tuning it as we get more feedback to make it so.


We will be rolling it out it 3-phases.

Phase 1. Where we give access to trusted and selected PG Emall seller, team pg members and supervisors who are interested in viewing and giving feedback - you guys have supported us throughout this endeavor : They will be allowed to test and flood the marketplace and get comfortable with it. (starting for 2 weeks starting from tomorrow)- Please Contact Me ASAP

Phase 2. To all our members and users : You will be allowed to post all your ads and given a carry-over period. So you can copy and make threads in the new marketplace. During this period both old and new MPs will be open and accessible. We will take more user input and optimize it and see what changes are necessary. Remember, this marketplace has to be driven by all of us, the community. (For around 1 month)

Phase 3. During this phase we will shut down the old emall and marketplace from the forums and you will directly land on the new MP. We will actively began promoting and spending marketing budget on different social media and digital platforms to showcase your products.

During this transition period, some users will of course have to familiarize with the new environment, but it is quite user friendly and Team PG and S.Vs will be able to help you out. So please annoy our mods :D
We are also looking into making basic tutorial videos for this endeavor( @GloriousChicken and I will be looking for help, so please reach out).

To answer top 2 questions that I have faced as of yet :

1) Do I have to re-register on PakGamers Marketplace?

A: No..its all part of one ecosystem that I talked about in earlier posts. So, its single sign on..so if you are signed on forums, that means you are there aswell

2): Traderscore ka kya hoga ? ( What will happen to my Traderscore)?

A: It will carry over. Infact it is already there. The new review system(more on this in a later post) has been optimized to carry over all your TS, so dont worry about it.
Also we and the community knows how important this aspect is....thus it will be even more important in the new MP since it will be much more closely integrated with the forums, pc and gaming sections.



Thank you all for reading through all of this...if you have questions please dont hesitate in asking below and I will try to be as transparent with you.
PG Vendors please contact me and get access to the new marketplace.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
