Greetings, I am curious as to why the PG website appears to have decreased in activity recently. Although I am aware that the previous management team has retired, I am unsure why other moderators and administrators have also abandoned the website, leaving it in a state of limbo.

There seem to be numerous errors present on the website, and there appears to be a lack of regulations governing the marketplace. Many individuals are posting items without providing proof of ownership, images, or pricing information.

Additionally, there appear to be no rules for "bumping" of threads. Furthermore, the website is currently experiencing issues with resetting passwords. Overall, it is disheartening to see the decline of Pakgamers and its loss of charm.

:(

Aside from the errors.
There's so many reasons but one major reason I've encountered in the last 3 years is the fact that its gotten extremely hard to compete against Facebook groups.

Pakistanis simply do not understand how the internet works outside of facebook.

PG marketplace is almost dead now ... i dont remember the last time when i sold anything on PG but i really miss those days because sellers and buyers were so informed and easier to deal with ....
This site is so near and dear to my heart and i have so many memories associated with it

yes its sad seeing it in such a state ..it used to be bustling with activity back in the day with so many well informed and tech savy members that i felt confident that i would always find answer to what i was looking for and there would be so many interesting conversations going on in almost every sub forum...it was almost addicting and i would check back again and again just to see what was up. i didh hope that it would make a comeback which was always unlikely because almost all of the older members who made pg 'pg' had moved on to other things .... oh well atleast we got to saw PG in its prime.it really was something great.

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
    170 + countries where Steam sells but PSN doesn't will lose access unless they use VPN

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
