The Beggining Of The End For Gamespot?

Ok so after all the latest controvsy regarding Jeff Gerstmann's removal from Gamespot, i can't help but feel one thing - Gamespot wont bearound this time next year.

Honestly i dont know how it can, with its complete loss of intgrity and honour it will be laffed upon by others in the business and i supsect alot of people will seek reviews elsewhere (i know im gona be alot more sceptical about the ones on here.) Alredi paying subscribers are cancling their subscriptions - and so they should. Everyones doing their part to let Cnet know they've messed up - big time - and eventually it will get to the point where Cnet say "screw it lets can gamespot!"

I look forward to what the future holds and would personally like to see Jeff set up his own website. I would hope that if he does he can make it as good as (if not better) than Gamespot was...lets say a week ago, and i would hope that if he does, many editors from Gamespot at the moment would join his website over this.

Gamespot won't be around? Are you kidding me?

I sure hope it doesn't.

If it does...I'm gonna have a lotta free time.:|

I think you're blowing the whole "Jeff getting fired" thang waayyyyy out of proportion.UbAdm

I agree UbAdm.

That's what I said in my blog I wrote a few hours ago.

Its not just about Jeff being fired though is it? Its about the integrity and respect this site has had stolen from it. Like i say paying subscribers are canceling en masse - and that shows that it s more than jus Jeff getting fired.

I only just came back after a long absence from OT.

And all I hear is Jeff this and Jeff that.

They're even talking about it over on Gametrailers :?

No the beginning of the end is when Greg left and they implemented the new review system...all that's left are these forums.

I bet 10 to 1 odds that he was paid by Edios to say this.

To control the people that are fueling the RUMOR. :(

Nah - if they wanted to controll the people fuleing it, they'd hve released a statement saying it wasnt to do with the review. This has been done in too dirty a manner for it to be a rumor.

It hasnt though. Word has just spread about it, but they rekon hes been gone a week now, he wasnt on thehotspot so it happened before tuesday anyway. and how long does it take to say "we got ridof jeff for reasons other that the Kayne and Lynch review, and thats all we can say now." That would seem logical to calm down all these rumors, and it tok literally 5 seconds to type/say.
