Why CNet!? Why!? Jeff was your ace in the hole. He was THE man! He would host your little shows like the HotSpot, On The Spot, and other things like The Players Ball. This is how you treat your own? Lock them out of their office and get some suit to tell them they're fired? Ok maybe I don't know the whole story but to fire Jeff like that you'd better have a good f**king reason to do so. If the rumors are true than that is a very lame reason to fire someone. But I guess it's money first, people last. After more than 10 f**king years you just throw him out. Well I was going to sign up here but F**K that you don't deserve my money. I recommend that everyone who reads this (which will be probably no one) get a pop-up blocker whenever you go to any CNet site, and if you've subscribed, cancel it! We need to boycott CNet and tell them that we like honest opinion, and if they want to force their reviewers to give crap games a good rating because they will make more money from the ads. Well then they can just go to hell. It would be different if Jeff left on good terms, like Greg, Rich, Carrie, and Bob before him. But the fact that Jeff was fired crosses the line. Heres a man that dedicated a good chunk of his life to GameSpot and this is the thanks he gets!? Thats just f**ked up...
NOTE: Pardon my language if it offended you, but I'm really unhappy about this whole thing...

For me GS was dying slowly with its reviews and died on the day when supported by Jeff changes to review system for users came.
I miss Greg, I liked Jeff, but his unhealthy lean towards arcade games and strange reviews made me realize that he is not a reliable reviewer. Maybe those years at GS just made him feel too all-knowing and powerful?
