If what the above poster said was true, the odd thing was that I found out about this through Penny Arcade, which isn't afraid to talk crap about games they advertise (even if they only advertise games they consider great).

I seriously hope that isn't true. I thought he was a good member of the GS team.

I hope this isnt true. If Jeff is gone I see no reason to use GS anymore.

It would explain why he wasn't on HotSpot and whythere was no On The Spot today.. But I doubt it.

The only reason I believe it is because why would GS say no comment? If I phoned where you work and ask if you got fired when you were still working there, would they say no comment? Doubt it.

Ok I take what i said back, this maybe more deep then i thought.

1 - On the On the Spot webpage, heres a quote from Gamespot's DonkelJohn.

This forum is not for the discussion of rumor or speculation about Jeff's employment. Keep discussion to On the Spot-related topics. Anything else may be subject to off-topic moderation."DonkelJohn

Wait if the rumor is false why didnt they just say it right there? Wouldnt Gamespot have responded by now? In fact given the fact that neither Cnet nor Gamespot themselves has commented on anything definitely seems like theres some shady business going on around here. If this rumor turns out to be true, it would really show how shady Gamespot as an entity really is.

2 - No OntheSpot Nov 29 (Today)..why?

3 -Last Hotspot (27th)..jeff wasnt there.

What the? Are you serious? Over the review of that crappy game that was spot on? If this is true I don't know if I can trust GS anymore. This is really shady if you ask me. Is this why there was no On the Spot today? Uh oh... this isn't good at all. Clarify plx.

How the heck can Eidos get Jeff fired? If this rumor is true, Eidos can burn for all I care.

IF this is true it is a very big story. What will the ramifications be for the rest of Gamespots coming reviews?...The rest of the industry? This seems absolutley ludicrous but you never know. The hotspot will sure be less entertaining.

If this is true, I'm moving to 1up as my main gaming web site although I don't like their web layout that much.

Innocent until proven guilty (in other words, I need more evidence), but this is... disturbing. The fact that there's a rumor about it is actually rather scary.

If this rumor turns out to be true, and Gabe of PA claims its true on their forums, I will be canceling my subscription.

The word from the admins is that this needs to be directed to OT for now. Specifically, here:
