Gamestop Editor Fired Over A Review?
By Jeffrey | November 30, 2007
I’ve typically enjoyed Gamespot’s reviews in the past, but if this turns out to be true I’ll most likely head elsewhere. I understand the need for advertising revenue, but profiting is one thing; selling out is another.
We’ve heard an unsettling rumor today from an anonymous tipster that longtime game reviewer Jeff Gerstmann from Gamespot has been let go. That wouldn’t necessarily be newsworthy, but the conditions under which he was allegedly dismissed were. According to the source, Gerstmann was fired “on the spot” due to advertiser pressure for his review of Eidos’ Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
Looks like Penny Arcade has the relevant comic up already:
