Why are there different stats from the same source?
Can we get some clarity on it?
EDIT: local and international?

What I can understand from this is that we're comparing traffic from local and international, which is apples and oranges.
What about Darryn? That's basically the only guy in this entire thread that got some praise.Originally Posted by Lazygamer
What the hell is MWEB GameZone?

This.

This whole argument is rather funny and people can browse where they like. I don't view metacritic in any good light at all. As in, I think metacritic should not be a basis for judging games.

Yes. Or rather local and total.
Also you can't compare Google Analytics uniques to EM uniques. That's beside the fact that 48,000 is not greater than 97,000.
I meant that both parties have different versions of the same data.

If more folks in the online tech news space in South Africa lived by this philosophy things would be far more pleasant than they are now. Your competitor need not fail for you to succeed.
True. They aren't even the same thing. It is like comparing News24 and MyBB.
All jokes aside, I think it was pretty unwise to bash "competitors" in an article and then banging on in the "competitor's" forum.
The stats are interesting, but in this case they are only partially relevant because of the difference in platform. News site vs a full-blown community, which are both backed by bigger sites. Turns out LG has some stuff going on with News24. One is also focused on local, whilst the other tries to cover both local and international. See why they only compare on certain levels?
Also, stuff got pretty personal there for a while, which is never really warranted. We are many things, but petty, we are not. That should not really have happened. Or am I spewing nonsense?

As someone who reads both MyGaming and Lazygamer, I'm pretty disappointed in this whole thing.
I'd like unity and friendship. I hate that Lazygamer posted that article mentioning MyGaming in a bad light. The right thing to do would have been to contact James and say something along these lines: "Hey mate, just a heads up but the press release you got is wrong. Want to go for a beer sometime?"
That's how a decent person would have handled it. I'm deeply disappointed. And like I said, I'm a Lazygamer reader. In their last two Superbru competitions I ended up winning prizes.
So please Gavin, don't be a villain. South African gamers should stand together. Not push each other way.
Ideal situation. But improbable. Not the first time that he has taken jabs at this community. I've seen him comment on some articles before, typically ones where MyGaming achieved something. Also, there was that one banner thing a while back. I think they might have been related.
Not the most ideal behavior. But hey, bygones and stuff.
