Raka_Putra 12/04/21 11:08:53 PM #1:	When I first subscribed I wasn't subscribed to any other digital services. But now I've got...Spotify, Netflix, Viz, D+, PS Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online. And a YouTuber membership as well. And, well...compared to the other subscription services, I feel like GameFAQs Gold just isn't doing it for me anymore. They haven't updated the offerings since, like, 2017? 2018? It almost feels antiquated. Especially since now everyone can have an image embedded on their posts anyway. I supposed losing the avatar would kinda suck but I'll get used to it. And I don't even visit the Gold boards that much nowadays.
