GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Dec 5, 2007

Well, I'm afraid I'm leaving Gamespot, and this will be my last blog post ever. It's been a tough decision to make, but I feel as though it's necessary. I'm hardly alone, yet many people still don't understand the need for people to go. As much as I would love to ignore what's happened and stay here, it's simply the wrong thing thing to do morally. Staying here is doing them a favour, regardless if you're a subscriber or simply just being on their sites and watching their ads - it all helps them.

Really, they don't deserve it.

So, I'm gone; my being here would be as if to say I don't care what they did, and I do. I'm sorry if you don't understand this, but I'd never feel okay with staying.

It's especially upsetting as Gamespot used to be such a fantastic site. I had nothing but respect for Gamespot and all its crew, but Gamespot has since changed, and regardless of whether or not it bothers you enough to leave, you can't deny it's true.

Anyway, enough about that; what I really want to say is how much I'll miss a lot of you.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Gamespot experience, even though it had to end this way. Posting these blogs was a lot of fun for me, and it really made it worthwhile with your comments and support. There's no denying that these forums are great, and while we all know they're full of idiots, the intelligent and often hilarious people here make it worth it. Meeting you was an absolute pleasure, and I wish you all the best with your future lives - you've been great friends.

If you ever wish to contact me - and please, feel free - haokuaileyun@hotmail.com is the address.

I honestly will miss this page, and I want to thank you all for coming here.

It's been a long time since we have talked but you are a good person, therefore I am sorry to see you go. But you have to stand up for what you think is right. If you do come back you always have a welcome place with me. Take care and may you find happiness and success in whatever it is you may do.

We may grew apart when the Nintendo Legends died... but you were still my leader, my captain.
I wish nothing but the best for you and Jenny.
You were the first person here on Gamespot I actually cared for, and I'm sad to see you ride away in the sunset. But I understand....
We had a good run.
Take care of yourself now, Cloud.
Later! -Lorda

So you're saying I'll never get to speak with you again?! Dude... Not cool.

Sigh...

Well, you see...I...

I just don't know. I agree with you 100%, but...I don't want to leave, either; I kinda do, but I can't, or don't want to, or something...it's a complicated matter.

But you seem decisive and, although I'm going to miss you and your great blogs, you have my support. Please, keep blocking this crazy California sun, and bring your delightful rain to everyone, and keep being the great cloud you are.

Thanks for all the great memories, HC. Sorry for that time I called you Happy_Clown, and the whole Depressed_Cloud thing

Take care! And keep speaking that French!
