Because GameFAQs is irrelevant. People would rather see video guides on YouTube and stuff like Reddit that doesn't have the strict rules we have here have made our boards irrelevant.

Gamefaqs has become obsolete over the last few years. Most games don't even have cheats these days. I think this site is just a holdover from a time when there wasn't social media. If you wanted to learn about games you had to come here. Now you have youtube for video guides and reddit for message boards.

This. There's no need for Gfaqs anymore. I'm in my late 20s, back when I was a kid I needed to come to Gfaqs to read walkthroughs especially for import games.

Now I can just go on youtube and watch video rather than having to wade through some poorly written walkthrough to explain what I need to do. And there are way better places to post if you wanna talk on a board. I just stay here cause it's what I'm used to at this point.

Our website is old. It's dated. It's a relic from a forgotten age, guarded by those few who remember the times of yore.

The young ones come, but they do not stay for long. They have bravely moved onto greener pastures, where the advancements of the future lead them ever onward--a place where us old ones dare not go. Those of us that remain are all that is left. Our sacred duty--to stand by it always until it fades away among the sands of time.

I'm also sure CBS, whether or not they even know about this site, also makes it tough to be any vulgar. Privately owned sites will always win over the young'uns

GameFAQs has a bad reputation for the amount of shitposting and garbage content. It's also not relevant for anything recent, just older games.

FAQs and walkthroughs are still good, especially for older games.
But there's no need to post anything here, therefore there's not many new users posting/voting/contributing/whatever.

OH. GFAQs in general, because people have moved on. and GFAQS is a relic of the past.

Not to mention the mods are generally shit. Only Gaf gets more laughed around the web for shitty mods.

That's sad to me. I don't feel like reddit or any other format site is made for long form discussion like this one.

The format of the boards is dated and doesn't attract new blood. Things like Wiki's and video walk throughs have made gamefaqs dated.

For example, I recently started BotW. If I have a question I just google it (mostly I just double check I dont miss a chest in a shrine). Usually the first result is either IGN, Polygon, Wikia, or Zelda Dungeon. I even get reddit as a search result more often than gamefaqs.

I think they do. It is just games don't have cheat codes or are that hard. So there is not much reason to come to a site like this.
