I've been thinking about what my reaction to Jeff being sacked is going to be. Although it will pain me to stop coming to Gamespot, I believe that my absconding is the only moral option open to me. There is absolutely no way that I can continue to support an organisation that gets rid of its employees for upholding their journalistic integrity. It's mind-bogglingly idiotic.

Jeff Gerstmann is one incredibly talented individual. His writing is of an extremely high standard, his music is absolutely exceptional (better than most bands out there, in fact), and he's naturally very, very funny. He was a real asset to Gamespot, perhaps the best games journalist around at the moment. For him to be kicked out the door for doing his job is an absolute disgrace, and I will be voting with my feet and getting the hell out of here. I'll be hanging around for a bit to hear the reaction from the other editors (I'm sure the likes of Navarro and others won't be able to keep wuiet about this one), but after that, I'm off.

Goodbye Gamespot. It's been an absolute blast.
