He's part of the GS staff. It says so on the page. As far as giving a damn, I mean, you can type things to seem cool but I imagine someone from the staff is going to post content that you read so............ yeah.
GameSpot scores are not random, people. In fact we need them to help us see how a game evolves beyond release. I mean, just look at BioShock Infinite! It's a totally different game now than it was back in March. HONEST! It's not as if Tom's review was total clickbait. Nah, there was a perfectly awesome reason for them to re-review that game just a few months after release. Clearly there was a demand within the fanbase and GameSpot readership for that review. We were all waiting on that review before making our purchase decision.
Give me a break. I understand multiple reviews at time of release and multiple reviews after a product drastically changes, for instance a game going F2P would warrant a re-review. But no one's eating grass. There's a redesign that isn't functionally any better than the old site. The forums and user profiles are garbage and they're churning out re-reviews of old games at a rapid pace. And my freaking profile asks me "What's crackalackin'?" Disgusting.
