Current Events > I asked ChatGPT why Gamefaqs is a dying website.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here's what it had to say:

There are several reasons why some people believe that GameFAQs, a popular video game website, is a dying website. One of the main reasons is that the site has faced increased competition from other websites and platforms, such as Reddit, YouTube, and Twitch, that offer similar content and features. These sites have become increasingly popular among gamers and have taken away some of the user base that GameFAQs used to have.

Another reason is that the site's interface and design have not changed much over the years, which some users find outdated and difficult to navigate. This has led to some users leaving the site in favor of more modern and user-friendly websites.

Additionally, the rise of mobile gaming and social media platforms has led to a shift in how people consume gaming-related content, which has also affected the popularity of GameFAQs.
However, it's worth noting that GameFAQs still has an active user base and continues to provide valuable information and resources for gamers. While it may not be as popular as it once was, it still serves as a useful resource for those looking for walkthroughs, guides, and other information about video games.

Ask ChatGPT how GameFAQs is pronounced.

not ChatGPT, but

The most common way to pronounce GameFAQs is "game-faks." This is likely because the word "FAQ" is typically pronounced as "fak" (as in "frequently asked questions"). However, there are also people who pronounce it as "game-eff-ay-kyooz." This pronunciation is more literal, as it follows the individual letters of the word. Ultimately, the pronunciation of GameFAQs is up to the individual.

Whatever. Everywhere else changing things around every year makes them harder to navigate.

This, and from that interview it seem the creator of the site did too. So imo that is the correct way, like that whole gif jif thing.

Typically, acronyms and initialisms are written in all capital letters to distinguish them from ordinary words. (When fully spelled out, the words in acronyms and initialisms do not need to be capitalized unless they entail a proper noun.) An acronym is pronounced as a single word, rather than as a series of letters.

The site creator pronounced it like fax or faks so they thought of it as an acronym not an initialism. Not saying faq cant be f a q, but in this case it is not.

I wonder if chatgpt read the entire history gamefaqs as part of its training

Don't let them see this, we don't need another redesign fiasco

Reddit is the biggest killer

Seems on point, but the design is the best part and why I still come here

Yea I was going through the settings and saw the last time the site layout was updated was 2013.
