GameSpot has published an article about the
departure of the long-time editor Jeff Gerstmann, saying they cannot
legally discuss the reasons behind this, but unequivocally denying that it was
based on Edios advertiser pressure or whatsoever.
"Jeff was a central figure in the creation and evolution of GameSpot,
having written hundreds of previews and reviews, and anchoring much of
our multimedia content," said Ricardo Torres, editorial director of
previews and events. "The award-winning editorial team he leaves behind
wish him nothing but good luck in his future endeavors."
"Neither CNET Networks nor GameSpot has ever allowed its advertising
business to affect its editorial content," said Greg Brannan, CNET
Networks Entertainment's vice president of programming. "The
accusations in the media that it has done so are unsubstantiated and
untrue. Jeff's departure stemmed from internal reasons unrelated to any
buyer of advertising on GameSpot."
