GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Dec 1, 2007

This place has gone to ****. I seriously feel uncomfortable posting here after what has happened with Jeff. I used to defend gamespot's reviews, glitches, etc. But Now it is almost as if I feel betrayed by the site. I've been coming to gamespot since I was ten years old, and I have been actively posting here for almost 4 years. In my time here I have seen many things happen to the site itself. Reviews, The redisign, Many many Banned posters, unions, And even Staff leaving. But nothing, and I mean nothing has ever been as big and detremental to the site as the fireing of Jeff Gertsmann. The credibility of the site has been compromised, and none of us know how many times advertised games may have received special treatment in reviews due to pressure from the developers. While I am sure that this will be resolved in due time, Gamespot's integrity is down the drain, and I don't think it will be fixed for years. So for now, I am resigning my Officer position at GUFU, and leaving gamespot. I thank the many posters and Staff who have made this a pleasent place to sped my time at over the years. And with that, I am out.

I mean I don't fault you man. To be honest outside of GUFU I don't even know how much presence I'll have around the Forums and even SW. At this point I'm in SW because I feel obligated into doing so.

The community needs to seperate itself from Gamespot now. Strangely, I've been willing to leave on more than one occasion, but now I want to stay, just to see the community re-develop with (hopefully) no prejudice or opposition in the way.

The whole situation is screwed up and the worst part is no matter how things went down, no matter GameSpot or CNET's comments we won't get Jeff back. Sad to see people leave over this, but I can't blame you.
