Alex N has left!

Well that just about puts the final nail in the coffin. I am so glad I canx'd my sub when the whole Gerstmann gate occurred. Gamespot is not what it used to be and won't. All the good people who still work there please move on and save yourselves. Hopefully they will start their own website.

What a damn shame.

This is starting to bum me out.

My favorite Gamespot staff are leaving.

Carrie, Greg, Rich, Jeff, Tim, and now Alex (if it's true).

I know there are others, but these are the ones I miss (will miss) the most.

I hope they all are doing well. I read most of their blogs.

Since the whole Jeff incident I no longer take GameSpots review scores seriously, in fact I just downright ignore them. All I use GS for now is for game news direction. I see what is going on then go to other sites to get the scoop. I have nothing against the people who work here at GS but the more you put on this "we will continue to provide you the best game coverage" talk is meaningless and seems a bit forced when I hear it. GS went from being THE game site to go to to simply being another PR controlled outlet.

I wish all the GS staff the best, I wish you would all leave and start your own site it would ROCK!

It's true. His last day is the 24th. We'll miss him.thorsen-ink

He will be missed, but best whishes in the future here from Denmark.

If it haden't been for Alex I would never have learned about Big Rigss... now I don't know if I Should thank him for that though 8-)

Hopefully they will make a little tribute on "On The Spot" for him.

If Alex didn't do the review then someone else would have, which means you still would have learned about it. Big Rigs is such a bad game that no one would give it a good score.

It's a shame for the people who have left like Carrie, Greg and now Alex, but I won't cancell my subscription for it. I pay for HD movies, faster download speeds and 700k streaming, and that's what I get.

Perhaps But I'm not sure they would have done it so funny, as he did.

Gamespot still have great people, Ryan and Ryan, Brad, Brian Ekberg and so on, but yeah it's sad to see the others go, but I will stil visit the site.

Now this is sad.

damm, this is rediculoous.

Not yet. He is leaving soon, but has not left quite yet. Caddy06_88

My favorite reviewer for most of the wrestling games. Damn shame.

Good luck in whatever you do m8.

You know, there are still plenty of great and entertaining people on the GameSpot staff. I hate to see topics like this that say it's a "sinking ship" because really... it's not.

I think my avatar says it all for me. GameSpot is still the best place on the Internet to read up on video game related stuff. Enough said! :)

I wonder if the Nazis said something similar about the Third Reich. Just sayin'...

Good move Alex - noone should work for a place that doesn't respect them!

Hopefully he'll team up with Jeff ( and Rich and Carrie and Tim and Greg and ALL the others who got the heck out of there ) and set up a site or join one of the rivals... I really miss the energy and humour from the good old days!

I think Godwin's law applies here: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. When such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.

Gamespot is a great place, but the people that are leaving were the ones that made this place special.

Alex don't go.....I didn't mean to call you "Mr. Grumpy Pants" because you gave a particular game a low review...........Alex, forgive meeeeeeee, I'm sorry!!!!
