[QUOTE="Game_Druggy"]Thats not it? then why is he fired?The 'tone' of his video review was the cause for his dismissal. It's as stupid as Comcast's "non-standard use" clauses.[QUOTE="FreyarHunter"]Uh... why are people still claiming that the score is the cause for dismissal?FreyarHunter
lol yeah, its what they say... *Cough**cough*. Sorry iam allergic to bs.
If they want to ***** about tone, they should go see Yahtzee's reviews:

[QUOTE="Lanezy"]ONe things for sure: Kayne & Lynche: Dead Men is probably the most hated game here on GameSpot.UpInFlames
Yes, and that saddens me. Neither Io Interactive nor their game deserves this. Just like Jeff and all of the guys at GameSpot, they've been pushed into becoming the key players of something that's out of their control.
True, but EIDOS is more than just partially responsible for what have happened here as well.
Its like CELL9SONG has said over at valleywag:
"if they did indeed pull their advertising due to the negative review then they are complicit in this whole affair. Technically they may well be within their legal rights to do so but I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be able to see the ramifications of their actions. The whole thing smells vaguely of payola."
And i agree with him.
About CNET, IGN, GS, Gamespy & etc, they are all about marketing and money now.
If you want journalistic credibility, you should look elsewhere.
I'll stick to Kotaku & other gawker blogs for my reading needs.
I wonder how they will react to the recent development in that whole "jeff affair".

You guys who cant tell that GFW smell like fish are idiots. M$ wants to have total control over your online gaming and charge you for most trivial things that were always considered as free.
And have you guys forgoten, or perhaps missed what happened beetween Epic and M$? When Epic wanted to release GOW maps for free on Xbox Live, but M$ forced them to charge for it? Well, it will be the similar deal with GFW, once M$ "convince" any game developer to use GFW.
IMO Jason's article is pretty much dead on spot:

WTF?!
Why was my post removed, or since when is it forbidden to post links to other game releated sites???? :evil:
The guys are having probs wth gamespot's vids, so ive just suggested a free alternative, what was wrong with that?
