I read about the Jeff Gerstmann thing on Penny Arcade back when it happened. I thought "ohh, it's a conspiracy" like everyone else. But looking back on it, it seems more like sour grapes.
He gave the game a 6 when the average was about a 6.5 (IGN gave it a 7 for comparison) which wasn't that far of the mark.
Eidos was the publisher that was suposed to have put all the pressure on Gamespot, but thay aren't that big a publisher, are they? They're certainly no EA.
Reading some of the reviews on Gerstmann's new website leads me to believe that Gamespot didn't lose anything in letting him go, and maybe is better off without him.
We will never know the whole story, but you have to take Gerstmann's side with a grain of salt in my opinon. Although if it is true, I guess that would be pretty damning for Gamespot.
I just don't see any real changes in Gamespot since he left.
