I know that I don't even know the guy personally, and Jeff's doing well at Giant Bomb, but this is just another hint that Jeff being let go was because of stupid advertising.

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> Good to see something being done over at gamespot to try and sort out the mess it has becoming since Jeff's departure. It lost a lot of my respect when Jeff left. I think I'll be sticking to Kotaku and giantbomb from now on.

joebobfunguy

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> The thing about firing executives in big companies like CNET is that:

1) They already made way too much money before being fired.
2) Their contracts pretty much always include a termination clause so that they get ridiculous amounts of money just for being fired.

So is Larson the loser here? No. Gamespot is still in shambes and Larson has more money than any of the honest staff affected by this situation, and money is obviously the only thing Larson cared about. Thus he wins, everyone else loses.

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> Good to hear this. Unfortunately everyone I liked at gamespot's already left in the wake of Jeff Gerstmann's firing, so I don't see myself going back to the site anytime soon. Kotaku covers everything I need to know anyway, and some of the former gamespotters pop up occasionally on the giantbomb.com podcast, so I'm pretty much set.

They got rid of him in hopes that people will come back to the site and view their ads, now that JUSTICE has been served. Come on everyone, He got let go with a nice retirement package, and now Gamespot gets their good name back,..
They can be trusted now that they got rid of one guy right? NO!!
This is not a one person's decision.This was a decision made by them all to make those big advertiser dollars,...I absolutely will never trust Gamespot again, and I suggest that you all take the same route. They rate the game on who pays them. That simple

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> I think it's pretty sick how much GS was defined by its employees. Of course it's obvious, but i don't think the dudes that laid off Jeff realized it.

Frankly, judging by his recent podcasts, i kind of "get" why he was fired. Mostly because i've been in the position of a loudmouth politician troublemaker in a company attempting to keep a strict power pyramid structure. I assume they tried to make an example and it backfired explosively.

Inevitability i guess. All good things must end, somehow.

I will never go there again and can't trust anything that comes out of that camp...

There are just to many other sites I can go to and get the same info...

Game sites will have to see that if you do piss off there readers there can be actions that will bit you in the ass...

I hope Larson goes and sucks the cold dead sweat off a dead donkeys balls...

giddieon

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> It's times like these where I like a particular saying - Karma is a bitch. I hope Larson doesn't let the door hit him on the arse on the way out - It's actually a nice door.

Still, removing Larson this long after the K&L incident is likely removing gangrene after it's took 95% of your leg - While it's a great success, they're still going to pull out the hacksaw.

Gamespot now has a uphill struggle to show whether it has changed since Gertsmanngate or not. The next couple of years will determine its fate, but I wish Torres the best of luck. Not because I want GS to fly or sink, but because I think he got put between a rock & hard place.

DiscipleofJamzy

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> I was right. I said this when the controversy began...that it was far from over. The constant resignation from respective editors started to follow as Jason, Alex, Brad, Ryan and other editors quit Gamespot. It looks like it might finally be over since the source of the problem is eliminated. However, the damage has been done and rebuilding their reputation is going to take years or even as long as decade due to poor PR.

mightyg

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> I didn't particularly like Gerstman, but I liked what he stood for. He did have integrity. I have yet to return to that site since his dissmissal. I still won't but goddamn if this isn't just deserts.

GiantEnemyCrab

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> I'm not convinced that this termination actually means anything just yet. It feels like so many other stories, where, just when you thought the story was resolved, there was still one more twist waiting around the corner.

You never know. Maybe Larson was pressured to put the pressure he applied onto Gamespot. Maybe he's getting replaced by the originator of that pressure.

It's too early to call. That's the important thing here. It's just too early to call.

BtownDesignGuy

]]> <![CDATA[The Man Who Fired Jeff Gerstmann From GameSpot Has Been Sacked]]> To little to late gamespot this is what you should of done the moment this story broke rather than releasing those lame press releases that no-one believed. Gamespot has ruined it's reputation and it can never be repaired now, I used to like going to gamespot but as soon as they changed there review system I new something was up. Why change a system that shows you where the marks for the review come from in number form to one where they just give an end score?

O well, there are more prevalent videogames websites out there. It's too bad for the employees that have been sacked because of management incompetence. I wish them the best going foward.
