When Grayson mentioned wearing his flaws and fears on the outside of his heart, I guess he meant having no shame in regurgitating boring content from other sites.

So brave. :D

I guess her privilege was checked :yeah:

I wonder how much longer before CBS actually sells this asset at a loss to another media outlet like Defy Media (owner of The Escapist). Hopefully these talented "game journalists" find work soon and fast.
CBS Interactive gaming site makes staff cuts, says "a few positions were impacted"

GameSpot
Consumer gaming site GameSpot has undergone a significant round of layoffs, GamesIndustry.biz has learned.

Now-former GameSpot reviewer Carolyn Petit confirmed the news in a series of posts on Twitter, saying, "Today was my last day at GameSpot. It was a dream to work there, and I'm very proud of the work I did. I walk out alongside some colleagues I am honored and privileged to have worked with. And I will miss working with everyone at GS so much."

GameSpot is the flagship gaming brand at CBS Interactive, which also owns Giant Bomb, GameFAQs, and onGamers. CBSi touts GameSpot as streaming 50 million hours of live gaming content every month, with 25 million monthly visitors across its gaming platforms.

The full extent of the cuts is not clear yet, but they extended beyond the editorial team.

[UPDATE]: A GameSpot representative acknowledged the cuts, saying, "GameSpot did some shifting of internal resources as part of our long-term content and user engagement strategy. A few positions were impacted."

Yeah, it's awkward to see. He argued about health regen being bad not from the mechanical point of view, but from "WAR IS BAD" logic, and was utterly destroyed...

Young one is a retard as what he think is realism is playing RO2 and that the game is not fun "but brilliant", he is the reason why we can't take "Game journalism" seriously. Guarantee this guy trying to stir up controversy is the same person that jerks off to AC franchise because historically accurate, Watch Dogs as it has real life hacking, and puts lol on the same level as Go or shogi.

Lol at what is in the comments underneath his article:

I knew the second he used the term “fanboys” that he was likely full of shit. Also, if you check his companies site (http://www.eedar.com/) you will notice that Crystal Dynamics is on their list of clients. Whether he says he has no inside knowledge or not, this whole article is made of hypothetical numbers and scenarios by someone who is employed by the company he is defending. There’s bias there.

Can Ben Kuchera be any more transparent in his shilling?

This is some hilarious shit, guy is venting his frustration at getting shit on on the internet and white knights Fish. But on further research apparently these "frustrations" come from having been given shit reviews and told his shit is worthless indie trash which are all true.

Apparently this is not venting but the ramblings of a man who is on his financial deathbed screaming out at all those that wronged him.

There is a choice quote here I want to point out
Puppy only had four months of funds left when they made the decision at the start of May. “Due to several decisions of dubious merit last year we’ve ended up wasting most of our cash on things that never flew,” they said. Oh dear. Free-to-play mmassively multiplayer war game Battledroid was still looking at another year of development, so they threw everything at a smaller game they might get to finish.

So not only are they bitching about getting shit on for making piss poor products, but have gone bankrupt through "choices of dubious merit". What a bunch of cunts, whining at the world when they no one to blame but themselves.

But it's the dang dirty trolls from 4chains that have brought down this shining studio.

Man, this is why Kotick is king.
Not because he's a good game designer or some shit, or that his company makes good games.
It's because he's a good business man who knows how to fucking wring EVERY GODDAMN PENNY out of something.
That's the guy you want at the helm of a company, the guy who knows how to work it all to his advantage.
Not some guy who makes great games but doesn't really want to run things because he doesn't like that angle.
