I Love Jeff Gerstmann, he makes me laugh on every On the Spot and Hotspot. He even made me laugh in his last video review but does anyone think he may have been fired for his unproffesional appearance and attitude? I run my own business and if Jeff was my employee I probably would have fired him because of his attitude when he was in the public eye. He may have been amazing behind the scenes but in front of the camera and on the radio he often came off badly.
I thought Rich Gallup added amazing stuff to gamespot and I was really upset when he left. He added a proffesionalism and polish to On The Spot and The Hotpspot that Gerstmann almost immediately destroyed after Rich left. If you don't believe me go watch the first episodes of On The Spot and the Hotspot after Rich left. Jeff acts immature with a F this attitude, screw all Rich did, I'm doing it my way now and my way is lazy, unpolished with a who gives a s*** attitude.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jeff but he's been coming off badly for a while and I can see why the management may not have wanted him to be the face of Gamespot. I don't think it had anything to do with Kayne & Lynch other than when they watched the video review it may have been the last straw for the new management. I can hear the meeting dialog now: "Look at this guy, he is so not hip, and he has a bad attitude, can't we bring in someone younger and better looking? Maybe a hot chick? How much is he getting paid? Let's get rid of him he's making our company look bad. Do you think Morgan Webb is available?"
We're all going to miss you Jeff, you kept it real.
