So after all this controversy surrounding Jeff's firing, I chose to follow the crowd and leave this place before it completely crumbles. GameSpot has lost all credibility, and by no fault of their own. Money and power corrupt... and that's exactly what happened here. I knew this happened often in government, but I never thought it extended to something that should be so humble such as the video game industry... and in turn, my fantastical vision of the industry has shattered.

So I leave GameSpot, nodding my head in shame and disapproval. Shame because I was one that took GS review very seriously, and even before I created my account with GS, I looked at GS's reviews to help with my game purchases... yet now I know the truth behind them -- they were nothing more than ads themselves... sponsored by their own developers.

Goodbye GameSpot! You helped me find some great friends, but that will be all that I take from you. If anyone feels the need to contact me, I shall be at Neo-Genesis forums. I hear they are taking GS refugees there...
