GameSpot Staff Speaks Out

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.

Mass resignations but wants to keep anonymity?

Stand up or sit the fuck back down, make up your mind.

Gaming Steve also goes into the details of how things work in these situations in his podcast, talks about the GS stuff at about 31:00 until about 46:00 http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2007/12/gaming-steve-episode-64-12042007.php
