The story
so far...If this is true, then its a sad, sad day for professional gaming journalism. I know there are some people here who have written off Gamespot, or called for bloody murder for their Twilight Princess review. But the day that dollars and cents undermines your own honest opinion (Even if others disagree with it) is the day that economic censorship becomes real...
Because of this I will:
A) No longer go to Gamespot. I've stuck with them thick and thin for 10 years, from my teen years to my young adulthood. The reviewer in question is one of the original staff members, who's contributions to said site have been fundamental to their popularity (Let's Gamespot, the Gamespotting columns and On the Spot one of my personal favorites)
B) No longer go other sites that are affiliated with Cnet (which includes gamefaqs)
C) Not buy any products made from Eidos(Which isn't that hard for Nintendo systems). But if for some reason, Lara calls to me, buy it used as for them to not see my money...
I won't stand for this. I'm not going to make a rebel yell, but if you feel the same way, do what you gotta do. If you could care less, move along, nothing to see here, just some lunatic ranting about ethics...
