Forums - General Discussion - An internet-wide CNET boycott.

Lite_DSaddict21 on 01 December 2007

I have experienced CNET for over a year, and have quit for about 2 months now. Gamespot sucks. I never really wanted to join, whenever you join a site like tv.com it gives you the account.

Also BOYCOTT TV.COM. The mods suck, noobs over-spam the forums and i've been reported at least 10 times for saying hell or damn in a forum. The editor system is really unfair, I tried to become editor of a show to find out I needed 1,800 submissions to become editor, because some guy on the site took like 30 of them. The only reason i stayed on there is because i had a good set of friends on there, and when they left, i followed suit.



Nintendo fan, though i also like the PS1-era Sony

Sales Predictions (+-.5mil) at end of fiscal 2007

Wii- 23 million- Brawl will hopefully make it higher.
360-20 million- GTA IV's release date will be a big factor
PS3- 12 million- Same as 360, MGS4 also big factor

That's why i never go by reviews. The guy should have paid attention to what the higher ups had told him. Yea it's wrong but at least the guy would still have a job. This is most likely a common practice in the industry.

Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe is right no matter what the consequences may be,

If the guy knew his employers were being paid to write a biased review then his actions should be applauded and as many people as possible should do what tehy can to show they will not put up with it.

If people remain complacent and never do anything when they find out companies are being less than honest; especially when ultimately it is at our expense, all big companies will continue to rip us off and do as they please


 I agree and i love video games, but the guy sacrificed his job for some sense of morality in regard to video games and the only result was him losing his job.  Though i agree with you i do no think standing up for the moral obligation of writing truthful reviews about video games is all that worthwhile, but in more serious areas of life i wholeheartedly agree.

 I don't think that's right at all. Its also an extremely poor business practice because now gamespot reviews will have next to no credibility.
