It's Been an Amazing Run

I've been visiting Gamespot since 1997 back when they were Videogames.com. I've been a paying subscriber since 2002. But I think the site is done. Don't get me wrong, it's still probably the best videogame site out there, but I just can't justify paying for its content anymore. My faith in the site was seriously tested back when Greg left. But I gave it a chance and was pleased that Jeff and the crew keep things going. Then came Gerstmann-gate and its related fallout. I still gave them the benefit of the doubt and didn't cancel my paid subscription. However, now that some time has passed I have realized that while I still very much respect the writers of the site, that I really don't value their opinion. So as of today, I have cancelled my subscription. I'll still check out the news, reviews and blogs, but my days posting here are done...and they have been for quite a while for all intensive purposes anyway.

I'm headed to the land of the Gamespot refugee: http://www.blogger.com.

It's been an amazing run Gamespot. Sadly, it's time to move on. Thanks for everything.

Well at least do me a favor and check in every now and then. Just stop by and occasionally leave comments on my blog here and remind me how awesome I am.

Sorry to see you taking off, but you can't do the same old thing forever. Best of luck.

I don't think you remember me but when I started three years ago you helped me out a couple of times with questions I had and some gaming stuff as well....in all that time I don't think I've ever seen your avatar change...talk about stick-tu-itive-ness!

Well you ARE awesome Robio! The glory days of the NES Legion will always remain some of my favorite months spent here on the boards. I didn't think it was possible, but I do think we wound up talking about just about everything there was to talk about the good old NES! Now there's just nothing left to say!

And I do remember you sandlot76! And I purposely never changed my avatar or username so people always knew it was me...not that you really know who I am! :-)

And chances are if you find an "Emiroo" posting anywhere online, it's me. I use that name exclusively and I use it everywhere.

Best Wishes to all!
