that gamefaqs guide got taken down

    Howdy all. Today, I came across an article written about a guide on GameFAQs. In this article, it was mentioned that the author of the guide has had a change of heart about the guide he wrote due to religious reasons. It also stated that the guide remained on the site due to it having being written as a part of our FAQ Bounty program, in which we pay authors to write guides for games in return for us being allowed to host the guide in perpetuity.

    We have in the past removed a small handful of bounty guides for various reasons, most often due to a reasonable request by the author. In this particular case, the author never actually asked us to remove the guide. He originally asked us to remove his name from the guide, which we did. He then asked to be able to edit the guide, which we facilitated. Then, he made the now famous edit to the guide.

    These exchanges happened starting in April and if at any point in time, the author had simply explained this situation to us, we would have been more than happy to remove the guide. Since he did not, we simply complied with his requests as we would any other normal author request.

    Now that we're aware of the issue, we've removed the guide. In the future, we would encourage authors to simply contact us and let us know that they want a guide removed rather than go through the extreme of altering a live guide in this manner. We'd also encourage article writers to contact us if they want to publish an article about us of this nature so we can offer up a response (and in this case, could have just gone ahead and removed the guide).

Yeah Gamefaqs is by far the best resource for guides for any game that was released before or during its heyday, excluding the extremely popular ones that also have guides up on more modern sites.

Early Gamefaqs culture was great, every guide had like really weird screeds in them and people just offering their unsolicited subjective opinions about everything. I remember a guide for a beat-em-up I loved calling everyone who liked one of the playable characters a stupid rear end in a top hat who's playing the game wrong.

How many new users would they get? Feels like video guides and wikis would have really eaten into the FAQ market. There was a clear consensus there that FF7 was the best game of all time. Wonder what the reception is there to FF7R.

Imagine how good the ASCII art is there now

i appreciate how relatively clutter free gamefaqs has remained (it's under the gamespot, cbsi umbrella now)

compare it to opening a wikia link on mobile. i hate what that site has become.

lmao, how completely strange. GameFAQs was overdue for something weird though. I copy/pasted the entire guide to a word document on Google Drive and saved it yesterday.
