I just found out about this, lol. It's ironic finding Jeff back on Gamespot after getting fired for making a truthful review.

Gamespot Reaching after what they did and the PR that followed. I haven't been since. And still won't Fuck you gamespot. I don't even like Giantbomb all that well.
Glad this is finally put to bed and the story told.
I have not been to Gamespot since Jeff was fired, nice to be able to start using the site again.
1 Like Wow...I am so massively behind the times. I logged my account off GS the day the Gerstmann thing came to light, and haven't visited the site since. Seeing Jeff and GameSpot kiss and make up, and hearing from him that the idiots that causes all this have now gone, means I'm happy to log back in and put GameSpot back in my bookmarks where it belongs.
It's interesting to finally hear the story in it's full. Respect to John and Jeff for tackling this massive elephant in the room head on.
Jeff makes me excited about games,,the rest ,do not=), haha=) i agree with him,,mostly not all ofc=)
im more impressed how they come up with games and how they make them,,i know its on a computer and programming,but still,,its amazing cant accept that this is real
1 Like Gamespot will be awesome with the old team back!! Sorry to hear about your dad Jeff... I'm sure that most of the Gamespot users (me included) will be more than happy to see you guys back !!!!!
1 Like hey jeff,ryan,alex,etc and the rest of the old school team....thats fantastic,glad to hear you guys are doing well...good luck on your new endevors
I'm sorry Vinny, Brad, Jeff, and the fat guy, are a accident waiting to happen. Giant Bomb is horrid. And they are the biggest fanboys I know. Thats saying something if I'm saying their bigger fan boys than XboxSpot. Hopefully, the inevitable death of that site won't hurt CBS that much.
If the flowers and candy are a lie I will be very, very displeased. Also, I still want some sort of assurances that the interns haven't been taken out and shot. Interns are people, too, just underpaid people! GAMESPOT/CBS. BEHAVE YOURSELVES.
i'd like to think Jeff's proved he's a terminator; even if they kick his ass to the curb again he'll be back
Gamespot sure has changed. Everything younger, hipper, and more British. Good to be back though.
You can't believe my joy seeing Jeff and 'On the Spot' behind him. It made me login into my GS account for the first time since... 2009-10?
Nice to see you can finally explain your side of things. Nice to see Gamespot allow it. Very grown-up:)
