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.

    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.
