GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Feb 1, 2008

Ive been a member of Gamespot for 6 years. I finally just cancelled my subscription.

I know nobody will ever read this but Im ashamed of the direction this site has taken. I believe the downfall began when Greg K. left. I stayed though because Jeff and Alex were always there. I also missed Rich a ton as well. Ive been a member since May 2002. I felt like a part of the family here.

There is no doubt in my mind by the info that has been given and by the comments of Frank Provo and Alex that Jeff was fired because of pressure in relation to the poor review given to a piece of junk game. Im disgusted. I will no longer give my money to a site that has fallen off the path that was so well set by the people who are now gone.

Goodbye.
Member since May 11, 2002

It's a shame that CNET doesn't care about integrity.

Dang, that stinks. The fact that CNET doesn't care about the people that are on the site is pretty bad, and the fact that people are just cancelling memberships like a snap of your fingers, then it shows this even more. Sorry to see you go man!

Sorry to see you go mate. Good luck, many of us understand how you feel.

Cant blame ya, the only reason Im here is for the blogs and player reviews. I love reviewing games. I would go to IGN but everything loads way to slow over there while on dial up. Even though Im not a huge fan of IGN either, they are better than gamespot. Would you be kind enough to share with me a site that you know of that is better than here? Sounds a bit like im sucking up to you
I am tracking you even after I found out you are leaving, its just so I can easily get back here to see if you have replied. But either way, I hope you have a good life and all that stuff.

Thanks for the comments. I guess maybe I mis-spoke a bit. I will still check the site here from time to time but....I cancelled my subscription that I had paid for every since they started charging. I just refuse to give money to this site anymore when I dont trust them. Plain and simple. As to your question Skull-Fire..... i just registered over at gametrailers.com. They are similar to GS in that they have the video reviews and stuff like that (and Cnet doesnt own them). Again...Ive put alot myself into this site. You can see that by my posts on the forums and the number of reviews Ive written etc. I just again...can no longer pay for a service of a site that I no longer trust.
