We've joked before that, with all of the resignations post Gerstmann-gate, Gamespot's content must be generated by a lonely janitor in the offices, taking a break from picking gum out of the carpet. We're sad to report that his life is about to be even harder: Editor Brad Shoemaker (who has written for the site for eight years) will leave the company this Friday. He hasn't reveled where he's headed, but he's maintaining a
personal blog to keep fans up-to-date.
The list of departures from the site is getting long enough that we'll soon have to set it to the tune of the "William Tell Overture"
to remember it all. But for right now it's at
Jason Ocampo,
Ryan Davis,
Alex Navarro,
Frank Provo and, of course,
Jeff Gerstmann himself. Just so we know, is this officially "fiasco" level yet? Are we at Code Fiasco?
[Thanks, Robert]

You start to respect them and listen to what they have to say.
In that sense, yes you can be a fan of a game reviewer.
Gamespot just happened to have a number of personalities. For me, there were several that I enjoyed whenever they had a new video.
They really shot themselves in the foot last year. And I just cannot bring myself to go back. It's a shame too, because it was one of my favorite sites. But I've moved on.

The situation is so obvious that it doesnt really need to be explained. However I'll help you out a bit.
Gamespot fired a popular senior editor. His coworkers got pissed and left.
