Hey, not sure how many MxO players visit Gamespot but you've gott hear this news.

It has been confirmed that Jeff has been fired, but Gamespot are not disclosing how and why.

Personally I think that this whole thing is total BS. How can they fire their own Senior Editor?!?! It shocks and pains me to think that he is gone. To be honest he was the last guy on Gamespot that kept me coming back (with Rich and many other editors having left) he made things funny and cool all at the same time.

OK, so He's written some controversial reviews is the past (But to be honest I did agree with the 8.8 Zelda) but thats what makes life exciting people! A little controversy here and there is great.

Just shows the kind of power that big companies have, its just silly really that no one can stand up for themselves without being squashed by some layer.
