The whole GameSpot-Gerstmann firing debacle really hit a lot of the enthusiast press hard. Since Gerstmann was fired, Frank Provo, Alex Navarro, and, as of today, Ryan Davis have left. GameDaily is reporting that Davis, eight year veteran of GameSpot, is believed to be leaving as a direct result of Gerstmann’s termination. If you want to read Davis’ blog, go to the GameDaily story and they have choice words from it.

If you want to read a really eloquent bit about how one notable person, 1up’s Site Director, Sam Kennedy, feels about the whole situation, go here. It is long, yes, but totally worth it. There is a reason that this man runs the best goddamn video game site that exists (Yes, I am biased).

The whole thing is just so, so sad. You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to work for GameSpot.
