Rumor: GameSpot Editor Fired Over Kane & Lynch "Low" Review

Pin It
Wow, this world is such a weird place. You have a site were people do review about games, but if the review is too low and if the site survive with ads of the publisher of this game..the guy that made the review is fired. (=

There is a rumor in Kotaku, Game|Life, and a comic at Penny Arcade about that eff Gerstmann from Gamespot has beenlet go cause he give a 6,0 to Eidos Kane & Lynch.
The problem inst the rate at all, but the "tone" of the review.













But you can see in Gamespot banners of Kane & Lynch evrywhere. "Allegedly, publisher Eidos "took issue with the review and threatened to pull its ad campaign."-Kotaku"

Now lets think about Eidos side. If you were an enterprise, and sell a product X. And put it at the supermarket newspaper. But the supermarket make a note sayignt that your product is a "normal/6,0" game, and your enterprise is expending too many efforts in advertising... isnt fair uh? You have to take out your ad from there, you will burn money with bad ad. =/

The Editor side. You make reviews for a site. They trust your job and tell you, give the fair rating that you really think. And so you do, and you are fired.

Gamespot.com; You have a site with guys making reviews, you trust them. But one of them make a low rating about an "supporter" of the site. What a moddafucka, get the fucka out here.

Us... who will we trust in a world ruled by money after all? Why spend time reading beauty review and buy a game that is 6,0 thinking that it is a 10?



Well... i cant think nothing more. This business world is too complicate, i gonna play some games!
