Then i'll always remember Lunar: Dragon Song for being the last Gamespot review i'll ever read. I'm both happy and sad to hear about this news.
1. I'm very sad that Jeff lost his job for doing his job (without corruption). I have not always agreed with his reviews, but i've always respected the fact that he was never afraid call a game the way he sees him without bowing to fanboys and hype. I've defended him in this forum for that whenever I could (most recently with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Virtua Fighter 5).
2. I'm happy I can now solidify my suspicion of corruption in the game media which, if all the allegations are true, exists within Gamespot. I'm sorry Jeff's job had to be sacrificed to expose this but I hope he realizes the benefit this has done for consumers who once trusted the press to be honest, unbiased, and without publisher/marketer influence.
I hope this will ultimately lead to Jeff moving on to a better place to express his opinion without being pressured to be dishonest.
As for Gamespot, they've lost just about all credibility with me now with game judgement and the only reviews I will ever consider here are player reviews written by those who have a reputation with me to put actual effort and formal judgement into them, my friends', and my own.
To Gamespot, thank you for exposing yourself.
