GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, Feb 17, 2008

Over the years that I've been apart of GS there have been many of the staff that I enjoyed listening to for their input on games, jokes, personalities, etc. Since I joined years ago, many of the staff members have left their jobs here for various reasons. Carrie, Rich Gallup, Jeff Gerstman, and (I think) Alex Navarro. (Sorry if I butchered anyone's name.)

What I wanna know is exactly why each of these people left and if GS is still what it used to be? I have some idea as to why each of these people are no longer here. Like, Carrie wanting to work elsewhere and Jeff's internet fiasco.

I stopped listening to their podcast and watching On the Spot after I heard Rich Gallup left. He was the personality of both shows and together with Jeff they were an amazing team that took what should be boring and made it somewhat interesting, to say the least.

All I'm saying is that Gamespot is not the same without those that made it what it was.

R.I.P Gamespot.
