So the rumor and the "confirmation" that Jeff Gerstmann has been "let go" is rather disturbing. If it is true that it was because of his review of Kane & Lynch then this truly does hold true to the game. Because the game is about comitting crimes, and to fire someone over giving an honest review is a crime against freedom. He is paid to give an honest opinion on a game so that the readers can get a jest on how the game is. They don't have to believe it and can go against it. Reviews are after all written in the opinion of one person. If you don't agree with it then that's your choice. But to get fired for doing his job is utter bullsh!t. I hope he sues CNET and whoever he can for just doing his job. Of course CNET and Eidos will deny that's what caused his release...but the rumors and the evidence is overwhelming.
But there is a good side to this. Jeff can now go on and do better things, where his job will hopefully not be on the line for telling the truth. In otherwords, he can go out and do his job.
