Media company CNET Networks, whose various websites including Gamespot, GameFAQs and Metacritic, looks to be in the midst of a takeover. A group of investors, led by Jana Partners LLC and claiming a collective 21.3 percent stake in the company, are currently trying to use their leverage to nominate seven new directors, according to Bloomberg. (Note: This incident is unrelated to the recent Gerstmann-gate fiasco.)

Gamespot forums are - after the ones at Television Without Pity - the most estrict, unfriendly and fascist-like there are. You get suspensions and warnings for the silliest of things. It's so tight it's not worth it.

Right now, Gamespot has the “tone” of the piece that they approve of. If you believe that Eidos was behind it, the score and tone they approve of as well. Does that review make you want to buy it? It’s still a 6. The review still says it’s a bad game not worth buying. There seems to be alot of effort going on here to change absolutely nothing.

Not only can you find many different kinds of information about video games on Gamespot.com, but now you can even see videos from gamers all over the world. These videos are often first hand accounts of people’s experiences related to gaming. Other videos are reenactments of certain scenes or situations that played out during a game. Still other videos are just humorous events that have happened in gamers’ lives.

It ... means that apparently the other Gamespot staffers are living in fear. They also can’t prove that Gerstmann was fired for the wrong reasons, but the possibility is enough that maybe some people would alter their review to prevent the same fate. That, coupled with the general public backlash, means Gamestop’s lost almost all credibility in the eyes of many. If Gerstmann was fired for the wrong reasons - then they deserve to lose credibility. If he wasn’t - then Gamestop is still guilty of not managing things well at all and allowing the illusion of impropriety, which is harsh enough.
