Yet another reviewer leaves GameSpot: Ryan Davis |
Ó
It's been almost 8 years since I started working at GameSpot, and Jeff was there for nearly all of my fondest and most memorable experiences on the job. ... Simply put, I would not be in the video game business at all were it not for Jeff Gerstmann, and I am loathe to imagine what I might be doing with my life right now without the focus I've earned from having this ridiculous job.
But now, Jeff's gone, and I'm not afraid to say that it absolutely breaks my heart. I felt the departure of Rich Gallup from the site earlier this year in my bones, but this goes deeper. Jeff was a rare constant, and this marks the end of an era for both GameSpot and myself, a fact that doesn't seem to be getting any less upsetting for me.
It's certainly apparent that Davis was hit hard with his best friend's departure. According to Ricardo Torres, GameSpot's current Editor in Chief, Davis' last day in the GameSpot offices will be on February 14, the (bloody) Valentine's Day. Torres also said that Davis opted to leave the company "so wouldn't kind of bring everybody down."

holy crap. pretty much all of gamestop has left! serves them right for doing what they did to Gerstmann
Gamestop didn't do anything
i'd like you to meet my friend,
UNDERPAID AND OVERPRICED USED GAMES.
holy crap. pretty much all of gamestop has left! serves them right for doing what they did to Gerstmann
GAMESTOP is a retail store for videogames. GameSpot is a international site for game news, reviews and previews. Get the picture? Good!
It's called; GameSpot for the last time. Not Gamestop. Gamestop is a local retail store and online retail.
GameSpot only, ONLY specializes in game news, reviews and previews.
do you have gamespots number?
i need to return this used copy of battletoads,
i think its full of fail and aids.
Well, sorry for saying stupid. It's just that you guys should be able to decern the two;
Gamestop - Local gamestore
Gamespot - International site for reviews, game updates, previews etc..
I KNOW. IT'S JUST A TYPO.
btw sorry for the double post.
no one but you cares,
and no should care.
if they do,
they need to find more important things to concern themselves with.
either find a way to have a laugh,
or move on,
anything else is a waste of time.
you had no lulz, and you had no point actually worth making, so not to be mean, but your reply was basically worthless.
LAMESPOT is crashing down! Serves them right. It's turned into an Xbot f@gfest.
^ Ever heard of sarcasm ?
Who's left at Gamespot? That Brad Shoemaker dork and that dude that looks like an ugly road whore?
Get together and start up their own small-time game site. Pull no punches. No corporate execs looming over them. It'll be their site and they can do what they want.
since gamespot was the best place for reviews and the sort...
It doesn't have to be a group of paid videogame dorks. At least they refused to be sell-outs though.
gamespot sucks anyway.
