There's a lot of spin on that.
But listening between the lines it sounds like it's everything we heard about him getting fired over pissing off advertisers is all true.

yeah, by genuine I meant they're upset and angry about his firing. I still 100% believe this is about teh dollarz.
That piece is excellent and quite well written. It lays bare exactly what the problem is.
I think this gamespot thing will end well in the long run.
Gerts Man can has blog nao?
(There's a disappointing but understandable lack of tearing Gamespot a new one; honestly it's pretty boring atm, but I thought some here might like to know.)
I've said it before and the article reinforces it: he who cites Gamerankings first loses.
The two sides of it are equally bad. It's awful that companies base pay structure among other things based on aggregators. It's just as bad that people who are on the Internet, and are thus able to do as much research as they want on any videogame they may want to purcahse, actually put so much stock in aggregators and the data which supports them.
Just came across this today. Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, and now Alex Navarro are doing a new podcast called Arrow Pointing Down.

I don't support the publication of the article completely. I mean, unnamed sources, ambiguous claims and no real, tangible proof has left the Times floating in the wind because of it. It's important to know who he's dealing with before and if he becomes president but damn did they drop the ball on how to approach an article.
the article is absolutely terrible, they should have dropped the story. another paper was writing a story about the times story, so the info about mccain would have gotten out anyway, without making the times look like a rag.
