I am certain now that I made the right choice in canceling my GameSpot subscription. When they start pulling shit like that I refuse to support them.

1up, however, did an awesome job covering what happened since he got fired. I believe I shall just rely on Yathzee.

They're going to shoot themselves in the foot me thinks, whats the point in advertising on a site if no one views it because your a cashwhore.

I can't believe there's been no official word on it.
It's like they're sitting in their dark offices, huddled together, waiting for the zombies to go away.
And you've only got one bullet left, Gamespot.

They're the number 1 google hit for "game reviews"

I think that says it all, the educated 3% or so will ignore gamespot, the rest will get raped.

From GameSpot? They gave the expected "Of course we don't sell reviews!" bullshit line. It's pretty weaksauce though.
