Well fellow gamers,its been a while sinced i posted anything.It really bothers me and im sure a few other people out there that Greg is leaving.This deeply saddens me,as i have been coming to this site since around 97.The site was way different back then.I finally decided to make an actual profile here at gamespot in march of 2005.
This to me is like loosing a good freind,even tho i never met him,or talked to him it was like we knew each other.The same goes for all the other gamespot members and staff.Anyway i though i would put my goodbye in here for him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well im not gonna lie,i feel kinda sick to my stomach knowing that ur
leaving.Im someone who lives eats and breathes games of all sorts im
pretty sure games is all i got in this world and its the only thing im
good at.I stumbled onto this website years ago when Adam Sessler hosted
a show called gamespot lol.I was maybe in sixth grade,and since then i
have been loyal here at gamespot and recently started up a new account
and became a complete subscriber.U were one of the most trusted
reviewers to me.I respected ur opinion and checked out games because of
you! By watching you over the past years i belive ive become a better
gamer.Anyway im almost twenty now and im out of school,and seeing that
someone who will have no chance of becoming a game maker such as myself
really gives me hope. I cant belive that just yesterday i was going
through an old computer game magazine from 2002(the one with tropico 2
on the front) and who did i see but u in the pages.Back then u were the
executive editor of gamespot pc.I though wow what a shock,then on the
same day find out ur leaving!
This
deeply sadens me and i think u will sorely be missed.Its almost like im
losing a friend as cheesy as it is to say.U influenced me in one of the
most influential parts of my life growing up.Thank you for all the
years of joy u have given me!NOW GO OUT AND MAKE KICK ASS GAMES SO I
CAN PLAY THEM!And maybe review them!
----------------------------------------------------------
I had dreams of working at gamespot and meeting him,but as unlikely as it is for me working there,or anything to do with games in general i wished i could of been there.In the past year we lost two editors,and now this.I was looking forward to coming back to gamespot after the holidays and getting ready for a new 2007 seaon witht them,so this news was devastating.Especially since gamespot and all the freinds i have are so much of me and who i am.He helped make this website a better place for people to gather around and talk about games.People that are not normally accepted in the publics eye.Greg K was every gamer,every anime nerd,and the quiet guy.He was all of us,he represented all of us.
I hope no more people leave,becuase u may not think
of it but these people are us.And all we have is us keeping this community together.So Greg thank u for all u have given us,the gaming community in general we apprciate it.

You make some really good points,its just sux really bad to see him go,i guess i never though of him leaving.It always seemed like he was content with his work that he loved very much.On the other hand it seems like it was a hard decision he had to make.If i was faced with the same choice it would be hard for me,leave what made me and ten years worth of freindships,or do the thing u wanted to do all along.I dont think i could throw away ten years of greatness.But then again doing something u always wanted is very tempting.So there is a huge argurment on what to do.

Greg doesn't appear to be the sort of guy who would abandon his job without a second thought. He made it pretty clear that, after ten years of working on this site, he was pretty attached to it. But after reviewing an innumerable amount of games and composing highly impressive design documents, I guess he deemed that it was time to move forward, since the oppurtunity presented itself. There's no doubt that what he'll work on will be of a very high quality; I think we all can't wait to see what game he's working. (All we know is that it's an RTS game, according to the "Getting to Know Gamespot" video of Greg that was posted today.)
