GameSpot Staff Speaks Out
[Dec 04, 2007, 9:49 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

GameSpot May See Mass Resignations Over Dismissal on Kotaku hears from a GameSpot employee whose identity is being withheld as he discusses allegations that the departure of editor Jeff Gerstmann was over a negative review (story). The story states that "mass resignations" may yet take place in the site's disheartened editorial staff as the source says "our credibility is in ruins." The story offers speculation about friction between Gerstmann and a new boss and possible issues with his work and goes on to verify the credibility of this post on ValleyWag based on postings reputedly from a GameSpot staffer discussing the way reviews are vetted at the site and describing the pressure their advertising department places on their editorial process.

A corporation that says they're not influenced by money is like saying a horny heterosexual male isn't influenced by pu-nay-nay. Seriously, the suits at Gamespot need to quit while they're behind. While the general populous at large may not be rocket scientists, no one is that fucking dumb to buy the bullshit they're shovelling.

We're all pulling for the Gamespot staff here. Here's hoping you guys can get other jobs elesewhere fast. While we all may have to whore ourselves for money to some degree, you know it's time to go when they start shafting you without the benefit of lube.
