Knowing what CNet has done, and you MUST know (unless you are willfully ignorant)?

I get staying here to raise awareness, let the higher ups know they can't pull this crap, fighting for change and all that, but.... how can you people act like nothing wrong has happened?

Are you that averse to change? That lazy? That hypocritical?

Just curious, because, knowing what happened straight from multiple GS people I used to work with, the only reason I'm still here at all is to let ass wipes like Larson know that I'm upset.

When people go along like nothing happened, because they didn't like Gerstmann's reviews (I didn't either), or because they're too damn lazy to look elsewhere, it just confuses me.

Gamespot is now 'for sale' and it just BOTHERS me that so many people are so apathetic about it.

I only hope, then, that the same treatment is given you when YOU are unfairly discharged from your place of employment, in such a manner that it affects all who consider your employment, valuable or otherwise.

Do you honestly think any other place is much different? Most of the major websites are owned by my news corporations. I go to GameSpot, GameTrailers, and sometimes IGN for my reviews.

I'm not apathetic, I just think that having seen the existing staff finally speak about this I'm willing to put a little faith in them.

I feel like you're both an alarmist and late to the party.

Honestly, I don't really care about the situation. It's unfortunate how he got fired, sure, but I rarely read reviews and all, so I barely got to know Jeff, so thereforenot having manyfeelings over the matter. I'm just glad to see many of the users here who I consider cyber-friends, and to go to unions, and other stuff. You can fight for Jeff if youso desire it, but Iam quite contentwith all I do here and all.

This forum still has the best community of any I've visited. I'll never trust Gamespot itself again, but I'll stay with the forums.

Listen bud. We don't know what really happened and honestly, that's life for you. Im sure Jeff will find a new job which is much better than this one.

I support the Soldiers who work for this site, but I don't support the Leaders that tell them what to do. Sound Familiar? If the people here would leave and make a new site, I would follow, but I won't leave them behind.

Same. i could care less what Cnet does, or gamespot or its reviewers do. I dont care about the game reviews. I came here to be on the forum, and the only people in the past weeks who have made the forum itself a bad place are people like you who keep doing these topics. Wanna complain, theres ways of going about that, one of them is not the continued spamming of the boards.

Let me get this straight:

You know people that work at Gamespot. You know them well enough for them to tell you the inside scoop personally, but you don't support their decision to continue working for this site. Is that a correct assessment?

Yeah, show him by continuing to come to the site. You're really sticking it to "the man". You can whine all you want, they're not going to be bothered by you at all. There are still people on this site that need our support, and if you can't understand that then I don't know what to say...

I'm here because it's the "individual that fired Jeff's" fault not Gamespot's. I don't claim to know what happened but I know who didn't fire Jeff. I may support Jeff but that doesn't mean I can't support Alex Navarro, Brian Ekberg, Ryan Davis, or any other members of the Gamespot family.

I'm here for the free cookies.

Also I hold out hope that whatever CNET investigation is supposedly going on may actually result in something positive. Also I still like some of the folks and their work that are still around at the site.

How does it feel? To know you have no more power then the average man, to know each and everyday could be your last. To know you are vulnerable at last, and there are many, many people with a grudge against you, and who can now act on those feelings. I would be very, very scared if I were you, because that Kryptonite ring you wear is the most beautifyl thing in the world to some of us...

Because I know IGN is probably more guilty. They overinflate most of thier reviews and their site is drenched of sponsors.
