Gerstmann Gate: The Revenge


The internet at large never got any closure on the late 2007 incident where Gamespot.com writer/editor Jeff Gerstmann was fired, allegedly due to him not playing ball with advertisers and giving Kane & Lynch: Dead Men higher scores.

Today, I heard from many sources that Gerstmann would be on G4TV's X-Play tonight discussing his dismissal from Gamespot.com. Here's a quick retelling of that interview:

Adam Sessler: "Can you tell us more about your dismissal from gamespot.com?"
Jeff Gerstmann: "Nope."

Aaah - sweet, sweet closure.

At least we did learn that Gerstmann is going to be launching his own blog very shortly (Edit: my mistake, it's already up) over at www.jeffgerstmann.net. Poor bastard obviously doesn't know he's going up against the 3,596,826th Alexa ranked website on the internet - slothbot.com.
