i have to admit that the last couple days ive been pretty steamed about recent events.

but after listening to the " HOTSPOT" podcast...i started thinking, yah cancelling my subscription might make me feel like im sticking up for gerstmann....but what about the other guys?

it does suck that one of my favorite game journalist alltogether got fired, but im not going to let that
effect what all the other great reviewers and editors here have done over the last 8 years i've spent keeping up
w/ gamespot.

Alex Navarro, Andrew Park, Ryan Davis, Brad Shoemaker, Brian Ekberg, Jason Ocampo, Aaron Thomas, Justin Calvert, Ricardo Torres, Ryan Macdonald, Tor Thorsen, Brendan Sinclair and all the rest of the gang were also there at the E3's, the on the spots, the hotspots, the gaming events, the holiday events. they were also there and they helped make this a site that felt like a bunch of friends.

my reaction was knee jerk, and i actually canceled my subscription....a mistake i will take back.

i hope alot of other people think about whos left, whos still here....and what these guys have done for us over all the years.

it easy to take the cynical point of view and just dismiss this site. but if it goes away, what will we have left. 1UP is great and all. but they can never replace the gamespot crew! and i mean that.

you just fell for wut they wanted you to fall into, of course theyre going to advertise for not cancelling ones GS subscription, but what the other guys who work there should do is quit too. that will really impact GS and they will be forced to hire Jeff back! :D ...im just kidding btw, but it would be nice to have Jeff back :(

Ya, I pretty much made that decision the same day things hit the fan. Though I'm still convinced that Kane and Lynch was not the only reason Jeff got booted for.

I would never pay for GS, ever. I don't trust their reviews, and I haven't for a long time. The only thing I do on GS in the forums, that's it!

I didnt even consider ending my subscription.
I was kinda angry about what happened. But just like when Jose Mourinho left Chelsea. I was upset that he'd gone, but I still support Chelsea.

I'm not sure what to say. I cant say 'Welcome back' because you never left, so perhaps all thats needed is a high five.
