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.

"Nothing happened, Golem has taken their review of Witcher personally because the reviewer did not complete the game."

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but since you never responded to the other thread I assume you didn't see this...

"This has nothing to do with The Witcher besides the fact it's the game he attempted to review. This is more about poor journalism than anything else. We could just as easily be talking about CoD4 or some other game."

I don't really care to debate the Cliff Notes method of game reviewing... again.
