No, he's not. He's a man that has made some very questionable reveiws in the past. This time his questionable reviews lost CNet advertising money. And since we all know money is what make the world go round, they decided to get rid of the problem, thus they fired him.

He's just some dude. He'll get a job elsewhere; until then he's just inconvenienced. It's funny because HE is probably less concerned about all this than YOU. Get a life. :|

Ok dude, they lost probably around half of their paying members in A DAY. Money makes the world go round, but Gamespot lost every single itty bitty bit of ethical dignity in A DAY also. IGN is so damn happy right about now that CNET did the stupidest possible thing.

Your simple model for reasoning is unfounded indeed due to the fact that total access members pay $40 a year for service. Let's say....hmm 5000 of them left today alone. Thats $200K alone.......

Are you saying that the K&L review was questionable?

Jeff was fired due to his harsh review of Kane & Lynch because of advertiser pressure from Eidos.

Well, Eidos obviously didn't like the results of the review, thus they pulled all advertisement funds from CNet... So yes, I'd say it was fairly questionable in someone's eyes.

I'm not saying what CNet did was right. I think it was really stupid. However, I don't like that people are treating Jeff like Jesus.

Of course it's going to be questionable to the people that find out they spent 10 million on a steaming pile of manure. check gamerankings, and metacritic and you'll see that most people agree with Jeff.

I've seen the rankings. Unfortunately, I've never cared much for Kane and Lynch game(s) at all.

That's called life. People get fired every day for an assortment of reasons...which generally amount to the employer is no longer happy with you as an employee.
