Justin Calvert,Maxwell McGee,Ryan Mac Donald and Benito Gonzalez also gone! Damn.
She riled up too many people.... though in her defence.... not rating TLOU higher is not exactly a crime and she was likely just following the footsteps of the previous review....
or maybe shes just more level headed than most hype maniacs that value technical wank material of actual gameplay.
She's going to IGN. Im guessing mcshea may be next unless he starts comparing his review to metacritic and give deserving scores.
I would say that means she was fired. Right?
Pretty much.
So I would change your thread title back. Don't let these people bully you!
Now what will people bitch about
McShea, of course.
I don't see why people think he is bad. He gives the correct scores for games I feel.

LMAO
Immediately after her Last of Us Remastered review.Did anyone else get reminded of Kayne And Lynch Dead Men ?
Not really. 8 is a great score. Also, she wasn't really that influential like Gertsmann in his time.
There were others as well. We just don't know who yet.
It's sad when people lose their jobs. Hopefully she and other staff members will find other positions elsewhere. I'm not to sad to see her go though. I didn't really care for her reviews or her opinions.

Says nothing about being fired.
Being laid off and being fired are too different things.
Comments are being deleted from this thread I see. I guess telling the truth is frowned upon here. I'll just say the site will be better for this and leave it at that.

Agreed. But people will always shit on him.
McShea is gone too.
According to his twitter.
They brought brought some crazy opinions, but it sucks that they lost their jobs. At least they were honest. Can't say that about all of the corporate journalist lackeys out there.
always sad news to hear, but this site needs a huge turnaround because it's been pretty meh for a while now. hopefully things will turn around for all!

I guess people can't voice their opinions without being complete assholes these days.
Posts are being monitored and some posts deleted.
My opinion is sad someone lost their job (or persons) but nothing I can do. At the end of the day it's a business and if a company is losing money the whole operation is at risk. Better to trim the fat and stay open than lose it all.
Holy shit, not tom noooooo.
This is weird. Two people who reviewed the last of us fired.
I remember when people asked for their jobs after TLOU. Actually, Tom was on many GSer's hit list for a long time for many of his game reviews, but...
I guess those gamers got their wish? It could be GS is trying to move towards likable personalities instead of polarizing ones. Carolyn did the whole Social commentary in video games things that turned many gamers off. We'll probably never know the whole situation though.
