GameSpot departures, origins under Whiskey Media (2007-2011) [ ]

Jeff Gerstmann was terminated from his position as the Editorial Director of GameSpot on November 28, 2007.[x] Immediately after his termination, rumors began to broadcast around the Internet that his dismissal was a result of external pressure from Eidos Interactive, the publisher behind the video game Kane & Lynch: Expressionless Men .

Both GameSpot and their parent company CNET Networks stated that his dismissal was unrelated to the review.[11] In what was labelled equally the 'GameSpot Exodus' by Joystiq, Alex Navarro, Ryan Davis, Brad Shoemaker and Vinny Caravella all left GameSpot. Davis appear his departure from GameSpot in February 2008, citing Gerstmann'due south firing as i of his reasons for leaving.[12]

"We want to become out at that place and talk about games, because we like games…and it seems like there'south an audition out there, and they like games... and their needs aren't being met past what's out there right now."[4]
