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.

I still visit it everyday. I guess I feel that every site, person, and organization is a capitalist whore sometimes.. or most of the time... so I don't see the big deal behind all this stuff. We're just hearing about it this time, when we usually don't hear a thing.
