I've been a long time member (first under Vector Scalar, then my current VScalar). I've always appreciated GameSpot's features and reviews as well as their journalistic integtrity. Not anymore.

I saw the writing on the wall with the move to a more publisher-freindly .5 increment rating system (less room for shades of grey). the latest reviewer firing debacle is simply the icing on the cake. While i should probably wait to find out the real story, I don't feel like giving GS the benefit of the doubt. They've burned that much credibility.

I know it doesn't mean much since I've stopped being as active as I once was, but I've decided to drastically cut back my time here. I will also refrain from filling out surveys for GS advertisers or Gamer's instinct, as well as installing adblock for Firefox (just for this site).

Goodbye, unbiased GameSpot, former internet home to gamers. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
