It should come to no surprise what this blog is about if you have been to Gamespot, or really any gaming-related site for that matter, in the past two days - Jeff G.'s firing of course. If you do need a refresher, check Douglas Buffone's excellent, unbiased account of the story. I do not have anything new to add to the plate - pretty much everything has been said. I am just writing this to echo the general sentiments of the gaming community over this dissapointing loss to Gamespot and the matters behind it. I still am reserving my final judgment until I hear a little bit more, but whether he was fired over unhappy advertisers or not, it is still a big hit to Gamespot. I really do love this site. I've been a Total Access subscriber since it was an option and it has been a tremendous gaming resource for me and the best on the web, in my opinion. I really hope that all of the rumors of the advertising pressure do not pan out, but if they do, then I will have to give some thought to joining the legions of members that have already left. Time will tell...
