I have been using Gamespot for several years and up until recently, I had never been upset with the way things have been run. As you may have noticed around the Home and PS3 pages recently, you may have seen a Team Fortress 2 tournament scheduled for the PS3. You may have also noticed that this tournament is no longer available for the PS3, but is for the Xbox 360.

According to JodyR, the reason for the tournament's cancellation was due to server issues. Now, I cannot confirm nor deny if only public games can be played, but I would think that better planning would go into a tournament, and a bump like that would have been caught somewhere in the decision process. I'm pretty sure that one of the first questions I would ask myself in planning a tournament is whether or not it is actually possible to do.

But why then is the tournament moving to the Xbox 360? Do they not get enough tournaments? I'm pretty sure that the 15, and soon to be 16, tournaments for the 360 compared to the 2 tournaments of the PS3 isn't exactly fair to PS3 owners. Rainbow 6: Vegas and Gears of War have both had multiple tournaments for the 360. Are just a few tournaments on the PS3 too much to ask for? Even if they did another Resistance: Fall fo Man or MotorStorm tournament, I wouldn't be so angry. But the fact that Gamespot is giving a less than stellar effort to satisfy a group of their customers is insulting, and makes me strongly consider whether or not I will choose to remain a paying customer.

I'm not saying that Gamespot is biased towards a certain console that is made by Microsoft, but I also cannot say that they aren't.
