First off, I just want to make it clear that I have nothing against GameSpot's editorial team. I think you all do a great job and I have been very appreciative of all the hard work you do.
I have been a yearly subscriber to GameSpot since May of 2002. The biggest draw for me to GameSpot, and just as important as the editorial content, was the personalities associated with the site. The greatly diminished number of said personalities has all but completely removed my desire to frequent this site. To Ricardo, Ryan, Brian, Tor, Aaron, Justin and any other On The Spot players I have forgotten, I still love you guys.:)
It is a shame that the GameSpot staff has been put into such a terrible situation. It would be great to think that change could be made for the better after CNet had been called out, but sadly it seems the almighty dollar is most definitely seeing to the contrary. My kneejerk reaction when everything went down last year was to get angry and immediately cancel my subscription. However, I decided to give CNet and GameSpot the benefit of the doubt considering how little the general public actually knew about the situation. However, considering all the information that has come to light since then, I find it difficult to continue to give money to CNet in good conscience.
And to the suits who run CNet/GameSpot, I just want to make it known that my new home for gaming is 1UP.com. 1UP has great editorial content and great personalities en masse. Oh yeah....let us not forget integrity. Thank you GameSpot, it has been fun.
