Don't worry folks, Jeff was fired over nothing. People who say otherwise are just being paranoid.
This is just as good a time to mention that I haven't read any GameSpot reviews in over a year because
1) The people that CNET has hired to replace the people who actually built this site/it's readerbase/the general culture surrounding it are all horrible at at it.
2) We can't trust an opinion on this site anyway.
What's rather amusing about this is that this sort of negative press is that a story like this or Gerstmanngate is probably a lot worse for business than a seven-point-whatever from a reveiw or something. People (maybe not you, dear commenter) may be swayed by news like this when deciding to purchase the latest installment in a crummy, aging series like Tomb Radier, or a half-developed attempt at starting a franchise like Kane and Lynch just as much as they may be by whatever some guy on the Internet had to say about it.
Or maybe Eidos just needs to work harder at covering this stuff up. Then everyone can be happy.
