The Death of Gamespotting

Gamespot editor Greg Kasavin had the news via his journal that next week Gamespotting will receive a bullet to the head. The longrunning feature on the site is being replaced with a running commentary on games and the industry entitled Freeplay. From the article: "I've always found it flattering how much some people seem to like that feature, which was, above all, an outlet. It's the sort of outlet I've always personally needed while working here, because the standard types of content I help to produce don't give me the context to talk about some of the issues that really matter to me. Now the same itch can be scratched by blogging or whatever, though as some of you have observed, it's just not the same." Seen via the Video Game Ombudsman.
