Upon learning that Jeff Gerstman had been fired this morning. I thought to myself it must have been something extremely serious, when I found out it could have been something as pathetic as the Kane & Lynch review, which was 100% spot on might I add, I was gobsmacked. Jeff has been with the company for 10 years. TEN GOD DAMN YEARS!!!!! He's given a huge chunk of his life, his love to Gamespot and they've let him go over what? A bit of embarassment over a sponsorship deal?

If Gamespot's higher powers only care about money and sponsor ship deals from developers so desperate they need to effectively 'bribe' reviewers, then I don't feel my money is being well spent anymore and my Total Access subscription will be cancelled never to be renued.

There is pretty much only one reason I come to this site and thats Jeff Gerstman. I don't come here for the frankly appauling news which is always days behind any other site. I come here because I like Jeff and I like what he's done at Gamespot since he's been in charge. Now thats been taken away, I don't want to use this site anymore.

Gamespot you learned a big lesson today. Loyalty to employee's is more valuable than Loyalty to desperate devs. Not only have you lost Gerstman you've probably just lost thousands of users who only came here to hear the straight to the point reviews Jeff does.

Good luck to the rest of the Gamespot Crew, but until the situation with Jeff is resolved, I really don't want to be supporting a site that is more interested in money than anything else.

Edit: I advise everyone who is cancelling their Total Access to go here to Adam_B's blog and comment, to show CNET how much money they're losing firing Jeff and pissing all over that which was Gamespot and it's integrity.
