Are the same people who were in charge when Jeff was at Gamespot even still there? That was a long while ago. If its a completely different management in place now, Jeff shouldn't have any major problems going back.

Yep. RT @GhostInLibrary: @patrickklepek @JosephJBroni Brad? Vinny? Drew? They're coming too, right?
 
I think this is terrible news.. but I guess we'll see what happens when the dust settles, I hope we get to keep the bombast as it is at least
 
Full circle for me. I started as a Gamespot member, quit on the day Jeff got fired, was a day 1 charter member of Giantbomb when it went live, and now it looks like I will be a Gamespot member again.


I know this is just a website on the internet... but i feel sick, excited, nervous.
 
Uh, no Drew or Coonce or interns?

edit: Oh, they did say Drew? I guess everyone who's there at Dave's is going over?
 
All the GB guys are staying, Jeff says they're maintaining full creative control over scores etc and they aren't answering to anyone in that regard, and he's doing a full reveal of why he was fired from Gamespot initially. Feeling better about this.
 
I really want this to be good news, and I do trust the guys. Jeff has done this his whole life, and I don't think he would want to compromise anything he's worked towards these past few years.

But personally speaking, I have lived through small, startup companies getting bought by giant corporations and I've experienced first hand what that does to a working environment. It's all smiles at first, and change is always projected as good change. But the realities of business means that the amount of change and how good/bad it ends up being is never predictable.

I wish them the best.. I hope this works.
 
I'm excited, but the biggest thing that bums is the split of Tested and GiantBomb :'( really loved the relationship between those guys.

Also what did they say about premium memberships???

and what time's the Jeff and Davison talk?
 
No, don't like that, not one fucking bit...

Same here, I'm not sure how I feel about this.
 
Oh my.


I have the same question. I don't want to be a GS member at all.


I asked Dave this on twitter:

"@enemykite I don't want to be a Gamespot member or let them have my email or CC #. Do I need to cancel membership now to prevent this?"

He replied:
"it will be a coupon. Use it or don't. Totally optional."
