no. text guides are better for many things.

I don't want to watch a 20 minute youtube video to find out what monsters drop what items in some rpg. I want to open a guide, hit ctrl+f, type the item name, and find it immediately.

Wat

More like wiki sites, but plenty of those are baron. My main annoyance is ign which keeps popping up above GameFAQsinsearches even though I KNOW a lot of those guides were made on GFAQs first.

That's bullshit. I'd estimate it around 3-5 million at max. This is a pretty dead site. And no, if there were as many people coming to the site as it would need to be worth that, then the boards would be swarming. Even if that were a small % of the total.

Instead there's like 2-3k people on at any given time. There's small subreddits that have double that.

No they don't.

It's entirely pointless to look up a video for raw data in a game. In fact in many cases no such video exists.

If I want to recall what the stat requirements are for the Great Scythe in DS1, I'm not checking youtube.

Though I'm not checking GameFAQs either.

You're probably trolling, but that makes no sense. He explained how guides/faqs are easier to find information and somehow that's backwards thinking? wat...


Not to mention there are just some things guides do objectively better. For looking up requirements to get characters in Dark Cloud 2, I can see everything I need on a single page, and Ctrl+f to the character I want. There probably isn't even a video on this, and if there were it would take much longer to skip through the vid to find a single character.

What value for the site would you estimate?

Negative value. It's a pure liability. Between the CE church arson, LUE basically killing someone, the kiddie fiddlers (plural), harbouring schizophrenic lifelong internet stalkers, and the site's mini-McCarthyist political ecosystem breeding ever-better waves of edgelord kids that grew up into alt-right drones, GameFAQs is competing with the likes of 4chan for its ongoing cost to civilization.

The $754m figure isn't how much it's worth, it's how much it'd cost to safely get rid of without the worst of the worst metastasising all over the place (though after this year, you could argue that horse has already bolted). The lights are kept on as a quarantine zone for toxic waste, in the same way Chernobyl is.

Literally nothing on gamefaqs has ever happened that has caused more problems than kiddie porn on 4chan or the Internet vigilantes on reddit doxxing innocent people (see: Boston Marathon bombing)
