Ever since the departures of many great editors and talents, I've been doubting GameSpot's ability to bounce back and reinvigorate itself with new blood. While I thought it might not be possible, especially after Greg Kasavin and Rich Gallup took their leaves, somehow Jeff Gerstmann was able to pull the editing team together and host On The Spot with humor and style that we all love and cherish so much!
If it is true that Eidos and CNet really did what they allegedly did to Jeff, then their actionswere less than deplorable! Advertisement team can not, and should not have any influence on the editors whatsoever, if GameSpot folds under pressure just because the editor tells it like it is, then soon GameSpot itself will lose all its credibility that it holds so dear.
Regardless of what really went down, what's done, is done. But what about us? The long time loyalists to GameSpot and Jeff Gerstmann are left to do? And where am I going to get my weekly dose of Jeff now? Again, for all the editors and employees who have left the GameSpot pursuing other endeavors: Goodbye, we miss all of you!
