Jeff Gerstmann mum on GameSpot termination
Still looking for details on why ex-Gamespot game critic Jeff Gerstmann was terminated from his position? The game media is trying, and some have been fortunate enough to get a response. Is there truth in the theory that Eidos game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC) had something to do with the issue? Find out in the full article what Gerstmann has to say about that.
Looking for more nitty-gritty on former GameSpot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann‘s termination? Word has been around across the internet if you want theories, but if you want the truth out of Jeff’s own lips, you can’t have it just yet.
Valleywag was able to get a response from the controversial Gerstmann, but the ex-Gamespot reviewer politely said that he could not comment about the issue. “This probably won’t come as much of a surprise, but I am unable to comment on rumors surrounding my termination,” he says.
Gerstmann was allegedly fired from his position by Gamespot parent company CNET after a lukewarm review on Eidos game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC). It can be recalled that Gamespot has quite an ad campaign going on in their site for the game.
On a lighter note, Gerstmann says he wishes that people would stop calling his parents’ house at 2:00 in the morning. Oh well, we suppose that’s the price people pay for being instant celebrities.
