Finally we have a solid answer to the Gamespot ordeal… okay well not an entirely complete answer but one part has been answered.
Gerstmann has been speaking in a Gamesradar interview and had the following to say
I was fired, and kind of went home, decided to sit on the couch and just mope for a while I guess, because, you know, it’s a pretty soul crushing thing to have happen, to lose your job
So that’s that done… He won’t or can’t tell us anymore but it is now a fact that he was fired.
