what happened to jeff????

i found this on wikipedia Gerstmann was dismissed from his position at GameSpot as Editorial Director on November 28, 2007.[3] Immediately after his termination, rumors circulated proclaiming his dismissal was a result of external pressure from Eidos Interactive, the studio behind Kane %26 Lynch: Dead Men which Gerstmann had previously given a Fair rating, which is relatively undesirable, along with critique.[3] [4][5] Both Gamespot and parent company CNET stated that his dismissal was unrelated to the review.[3] [6] can someone elaborate? what happened to jeff????
Most people here thought that The Man put the hammer down of Jeff since K %26 L was a big advertisement around the time of the review. Ad dollars were more important that journalistic integrity, was the claim.what happened to jeff????
The fact that after Jeff left, lots of the old GS crew left as well (Ryan, Brad, Alex and others) makes it even more fishy.

yeah, so they obviously didn't agree with it...
Midnight SAS raid took him away.
summing it up: jeff refused to give the game a higher note in the sakeness of fairness instead of cash, got hammered, other reviewers also got sick of it and left along with him, and then... they created giant bomb... oh yes, not to mention, i was following the thing since i joined 18 days before all this happened

[/QUOTE]I assume you have evidence of all this. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but you should have some proof before you make a claim like that.
They wanted the Hotspot to stop sounding like a professionally run production so they got rid of Jeff and left it to noobies. :P

The people that have the proof are not allowed to speak on the matter. However, if you have read the cryptic messages in the GS editors' blogs at the time you could definetely read that something really unfair had happened.

Again, I'm not saying that this whole conspiracy isn't true. I just like proof with my accusations.
As far as I know he got fired over a bad review, which has been said before.
The Jeff cult following that started after he got fired was horrible...
Jeff helped make this website what it is and then got canned when it was convenient. Happens to a lot of people.
Jeff lambasted Kane %26 Lynch; Eidos yelled and sobbed at Cnet, upper management pulled Josh Larson out of his hermetically sealed packaging and turned the key.The Larson doll wandered the Gamespot offices, Jeff was immediately terminated, and a large chunk of editors followed because Josh Larson was just plain creepy, what with Eidos' manhood half inserted into his mouth at all times.
After he was fired, he took a bunch of GameSpot's best reviewers and started a site called GiantBomb.com
He ate a taco burito and had a stroke

That's not even funny. :
|Um...my name is Jeff....ahahahahaha. It's too bad he got fired over the worst game in the world. Kane and Lynch doesn't even deserve to be played over any game in this world. It's pathetic.

You won't find absolute proof.
