I read the interview with the C-Net employee trying to explain with his "gut" that the timing of Jeff G's firing was purely coincidental, and I threw the bull shit flag. Now, according to a source from Kotaku, it appears that the timing of the firing was anything but coincidental, with C-Net having waited until two weeks AFTER the now notorious review to lock the man out of his own office. Funny thing about that is, after Thanksgiving, there are no more major titles of the year to review, so any inevitable strikes planned by GS staff would be absolutely pointless. Also, as is in the article, I'd heard of Gamespot's very strict review guidelines that must be met before a review goes live, one of which includes screening the review before the whole team. If this is the case, the decision to put up the review was made by the team itself, not just Gerstmann, which would therefore make his firing even more suspect. Scapegoat, anyone? You can read the whole interview for even more edification of the fact that GS now (officially) sucks.
