Making that bullsh!t statement was pretty much insult enough to most people on GS, but now that you are also including a video to show how the editors are with this; its all sickening. What you dont understand is the people here dont want some video because they will assume its made of lies and you are just trying to calm them down. Whats best is that you could totally fix this mess with a few things.

-First you dont even need to admit what you supposedly did.

-Reinstate Jeff Gerstman, but he will refuse so offer pay increase.

-Fire Larson now and put someone else in that position (possibly Jeff?)

-Make a public appology over Jeff's termination

Suddenly, all of your problems are fixed. You will have more subscribers then ever because you listened to what people wanted instead of spewing more bullsh!t like you are now. People will continue to be upset, boycott Eidos games and rage against the machine (some have even been saying Nazis). One more thing as well, try to get the mods on your side because atm, they dont give a F^ck about what anyone here is doing because of you.

Edit: When I wrote this, I didnt listen to the podcast thing until later and i didnt see the other updates they made and Gamespot seems to be in the right direction. As for the editors, sorry you guys have to deal with all this sh!t atm. And also, I think that Larson should still be fired or resign for what happened.

We shouldnt be fighting against gamespot, editors or anything at all, we should be fighting to get Jeff reinstated and to find out the true reasons for his termination.

Jeff Gesterman has been one of the best reviewers on this site, and has always made things both entertaining and interesting. From his memorable moments (On the Spot every week, numerous reviews and hilarious mood) to his infamous criminal side (Legend of Zelda, Tony Hawk 3......), things have never really seemed to be boring for Jeff.

But you know, something about this "termination" doesnt seem right at all. Actually, let me fix my previous statement, NOTHING about this feels right. From Kane and Lynch being pimped all over the site to not at all, to the video review being pulled, to the fact that GS has issued a complete bullsh!t statement and that sources (well sites more accuratly) are constantly saying theres more to this then there seems. If there was some disconect to all the basic story of what happened, it would be another tin foil hat story, but here the thing- there are none.

There are absolutely no holes in the story. There is nothing that seems out of place. There is nothing that seems wrong other than what was supposedly done.

True or not however, Jeff Gesterman seems to be going the route of the martyr and went out with a complete and total bang that has never happened to this site. And it seems fitting that Jeff ended his career at gamespot just as controversial as his career was at gamespot. However if Gamespot wants to have things fixed, they need a statement from Jeff himself to clear things up, no matter how private it was. Until they do that, Jeff will be celebrated as one of the best writers in the industry for fighting for what he believed in.

(penny arcade comic sums up the issue nicel, Fight! )

On a side note, this has all taught me something, that I need to fight for free speech no matter the cost. I will not be posting blogs unedited and posting on forums unedited for the cause of fighting for free speech. To the mods, I want you to rememeber a qoute from John Locke who said," I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death the right to defend it".
