Hey guys,

I'm a big fan of the freedom of speech; therefore, I implore all of you to cancel your gamespot accounts in protest of the recent attack on J. Gerstman's freedom of speech. I will be cancelling my account as soon as I am done posting this thread all over the forums. Vote with your actions. Let the suits at CNET know that this will not go unnoticed. We come to these sites to get honest opinions on video games, not the publishers' (I'm looing at you Eidos) opinions on their video games. Thanks for your time, hope someone gets in here before the lock.

P.S. Bring it on Gamespot.

yea basically jeff gurstman was fired because he gave kane and lynch a 6.0 when eidos spent loads of money advertising on the site so they took it up with cnet (GS parent company) and they fired jeff for it... im extremely angry about it too but there is no need to bring that into this forum.

I agree with you but I am not deleteing my account. Dont you know that rich people control our freedoms. Tell me Do you think a cop would help a rich old lady get her purse back from a robber or a bum getting beat up by slums. That is an example of course.

the thing that is getting everyone angry is that he was fired because he gave an honest review but the advertisers wanted him, this is pretty big as the integrity of gamespot is now under question, apparently his "office was locked and he was escorted out of the building", this is very big as other editors will now be bias to advertised games as they fear for there jobs/...

I never trusted gamespot in the first place I always rented games to find out if I liked them.

I did think Gamespots reviews were slipping TBH. Now reviews are going to completely go to ****. Everyone will vote biased and say every game is awsome. Otherwise they might get fired. I only come here for the really active forum nowadays.

Funny thing is, Eidos probably killed all their own sales by pulling this stunt off.

Had they let the review slide, it would've gone unnoticed and they would've racked up more sales then what's coming to them now.

Exactly. If they just ignored it, there wouldn't be a mass down-rating on the game right now. Gotta love blowback!

Lol, "I'd rather have sex with my dog...", It's truly amazing, Jeff had alot more power than the company gave him credit for. Maybe losing Rich is possible, but Jeff? Whats gamespot without Jeff? the answer - a pile of crap.

Gamespot's reviews have been crap recently, Ratchet and Clank anyone? All of their 360 games get scores way above what they deserve, and they snub the PSP often. I'm glad he stodd up for what he believed, even though he's done less than that in previous reviews.

I think I'll stick with my account.
