This is sad news, not unexpected though. Ever since re-imaging of site, it was obvious something is wrong, specially after Shane left.

Now that all these great folks are not there anymore I can only see GT going 'hip' (well, they're already trying to do that with that sad excuse of the show called Mandatory Update) in order to survive...which will run them into the ground even more.

Tweet Spencer about a job, he's always looking for more ways to kiss ass on twitter. lol

LOL shots fired.

LOL haha Don't get me wrong, Spencer has been great for Xbox but the media rides his d*ick too much! Everything he says on twitter gets at least 4-5 articles on N4G which in turn get forwarded here. He does a great job but sometimes seems like it's too much ass kissing mixed in because he's afraid of the bad PR.

I agree...he was behind everything at launch as much as mattirck was, he was behind the 360 poor first party output 2010 - 2013He is just saying the obvious and peopel proclaim him the messiah? It's NAive, MS stance is well known, as MEhdi Yousef proved recently. He is just saying what they have too now because PS4 handed them there ass,

The problem is ...Why pay for people like them while their are so many people on youtube who are doing free shows? Some shows are very good and entertaining especially shows like Gamechasers/Gamesack etc..

Thats what they get for losing viewers with stuff like:

COD = 9.6 VS Zelda Skyward Sword= 9.1

because Skyward Sword is the same game as any other Zelda game unlike COD which is a complete innovation every time!

Sad for the people getting fired but if you let shit like this happen your site fucks up its reputation.
