Wow. I don't know what to say. Not only is this a great loss for GameSpot, but for all gaming journalists. To state it kindly, the legitimacy of online reviewers as been taken down a considerable notch. I suppose I won't post much because, well possibly it is hitting me harder than some other people. This is the man that inspired me to consider a career in journalism. In a way, he is my role-model. Perhaps this sounds weird, but no one can deny that him not giving into Eidos more than delivers him the reputation as a reputable journalist. The fact that he would take it so far as to get fired for his opinion is what I consider an act of extreme strength and integrity. Maybe I shouldn't be praising him so highly considering we still know little about what exactly happened, but I doubt Jeff will be viewed as the villain however this plays out. I could post more, but really I can't. I just have nothing to say at how disgusted I am at both CNet and Eidos. I will probably comment again when more information is released on this, but until then I hope you enjoy what could very well be one of my last blog posts on GameSpot.
