Gamespot users fight back with TAGS
Niero | 9:49 AM on 12.04.2007 40 comments




Following last night's announcement there are already 28 PAGES of users calling bullshit on their PR response I noticed something hilarious on their sidebar: apparently BULLSHIT was the most frequently used tag to describe their story. Other popular ones were lies, conspiracy, damage control, and corruption. A little gray one that subtly says CNET SUCKS is probably my favorite of the pack.

I pray to God that somebody on their podcast or web cast breaks script and tells it like it is.

lol, man gamespot is fucked.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
But...but that would be honest!
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
It's not so much the liars as the lies that bother me.
-D-'s Destructoid Blog
Classic.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Haha, so tags will be locked from tomorrow onwards as well?
niakori's Destructoid Blog
What a stormy little tag cloud.
The-Excel's Destructoid Blog
The damage control is a lies.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
lol @ Pew

I can't believe they disabled user reviews. Niero should've touched ground on that too.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
This CONSPIRACY that CNET SUCKS is not LIES from LIARS full of CORRUPTION, but a natural fallout from the BULLSHIT DAMAGE CONTROL that CORPORATE is attempting to pass off as truth after the CONTROVERSY over the EIDOS complaint that caused EDITORIAL DIRECTOR JEFF GERSTMANN to be FIRED over his KANE & LYNCH review. Needless to say, the response is BS and "JEFF GERTSMANN" is the wrong way to spell JEFF GERSTMANN.

Did I get every tag in?
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
I can't believe they disabled user reviews.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me man.
itemforty's Destructoid Blog
Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.
BFeld13's Destructoid Blog
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!

Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I saw that when I checked out the PR response earlier. Hilarity.
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
@Necros: I believe that was word-for-word an actual comment to the site.
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
Things certainly have gone to hell for Gamespot. Well, even more so. I always thought Gamestop was a crappy website.
masterledz's Destructoid Blog
Guess you could say we've found what the "G-spot" is all about.

Epic.

Also, clitoris.
Niero's Destructoid Blog
Haha that's crazy. I didn't know they had disabled user reviews. I'm not a regular, I just occasionally lurk. They're probably worried that a digital riot will destroy all user game scores since they already did it to kayne & lynch
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
People need to stop posting anything on the site and instead just stop visiting the site entirely and giving companies like Eidos who have CLEARLY paid for advertisements any reason to spin the high traffic into more positive PR bullshit.

"They must LOVE K&L, I mean, come on... they keep visiting articles about it, right?" - Eidos PR Lead in near future
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Man, it's so srange how messed up this truly is.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Wow I guess Ron is already on top of it. If there was a digital riot I'd definitely want Workman or some type of Destructoid entity helming the masses.

Digital riot!
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
hahah omfg, look at them all :O
brad drac's Destructoid Blog
I grant this eleven rofflecoptors out of ten.
BS3 Owner's Destructoid Blog
First Joystiq ( H8ers )...

Then IGN ( Ass CREED )...

Now Gamespot ( Reviews for $ )...

Have gotten their bookmarks taken off my Apple!


Who's NEXT?
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog

...ive always hated gamespot
Barcode's Destructoid Blog
First the cake was a lie...
razerangel's Destructoid Blog
why don't they just say "ok you caught us with Eidos' penis in our gaping mouths!"? it will make this all a little less painful for everyone invovled?
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
I'm actually worried about the Gamespot staff who are caught in the crossfire of this crap. Is anyone going to listen to their podcast? Just to see what the guys say?
masterledz's Destructoid Blog
lol @ Barcode

Once again, I blame communism. It's always communism.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
razerangel made me laaaaaugh..
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
wee need to get Gamewh0re listed in that box. NOW
Danmartigan's Destructoid Blog
the internet is a lie!
IvoryShipping's Destructoid Blog
Haha, that's awesome.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
I suddenly believe that the internet has the power to destroy GameSpot. Concentrate all fire on that web site! Try and draw their fire away from the cruisers! That thing's operational!
SPIDER PIG's Destructoid Blog
thats some funny a)s stuff there
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
Gamespot can't recover from this, the tags sealed the deal.
AgentMOO's Destructoid Blog
Of course they can delete tags... What really needs to happen is legal actions to fix the fucked up video game review scene. This is the same thing our country went through with the Payola scandal and mainstream media hasn't touched the issue yet. Someone get on the horn to CNN.
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
If u guys want to hear about what went down with Jeff, listen to 12/4's HotSpot. They clear it up quite a bit.

 about me

Funny story: I run Destructoid. I'm your plucky webmaster.

Not so funny story: While testing new site features I somehow deleted my bio. Awesome! Will write another soon. The short version: I love running this site and will until they drag me away.
