The Gamerscore & Game Theory Podcasts are featuring their thoughts on the Gerstmann and GameSpot PR backlash surrounding their separation. I don’t know any more then anyone else, but being a PR person and seeing as this unfolded since the weekend has been crazy.
GameSpot & CNET should have come forward a lot sooner then the statement they released today. I don’t think anyone could have seen this coming from a mile away, but GameSpot & CNET should have been more reactive to the situation. Top three things not to do when you are in this situation.
- Don’t Lie or Fugde The Truth
- Don’t Assume Things Will Blow Over Soon Online
- Don’t Let The Community Take Control Of The Message
This should blow over soon, but not before the week is out I think.

[...] None of the above quotes sound all to fantastic after the GameSpot & Gerstmann issue we just had. This doesn’t feel or sound like the most interesting case, but maybe that’s just because I’m not involved. However, what I did find interesting is that I can’t seem to find a link to their blog on their website anymore. They use to have one back in the summer and now it seems to have disappeared. This would be a good time to use it as a way to communicate their side as this gets blogged about around the globe. I hope they are following this online and commenting, because so far I’ve seen anyone from Kohnke comment anywhere. HURRY UP GUYS!. [Via Shacknews, Kotaku & Next-Gen.com] [...]
