Every day you should be reminding yourselves that, because of the magic of the Internet, someone could just flip a switch that causes everything you've ever done here to just vanish. I look forward to that moment.Īs for the rest of the team that makes GameSpot's content: What you do next is more important than what you've done already. And I have every faith that we'll be hearing from him again soon. It's not hard-it's rather easy-to imagine him saying goodbye here in his own way. So then, to those of you familiar with Jeff's work: You should rest assured he'd take the opportunity to do what I did, not because we presume to know it's the "right" thing to do, but because we basically trust our instincts. Some of those people hated my guts for all I knew-they had a right to know I was leaving same as anyone else. So I said my goodbyes here in January not to provoke and get off on the generous flattery provided by a subset of people who took the time to respond, but to provide what I considered to be a basic, human courtesy to all those people who were familiar with my work over time. We'd rather be moving on to our next assignment. But I think guys like him and me see closure as a nice-to-have. I shouldn't lump myself into the same category as Jeff because we're pretty different people in spite of us having the same feelings about games and similar perspectives on a lot of subjects related to games. It occurred to me that most of the closure I'd been feeling over the past decade came from finishing games. The game industry never stops, and there are always more games I could be playing. As great as it was to work at GameSpot, I rarely felt a sense of closure at the job, because there was always lots more work to be done and more I could have been doing. I shot a video review, submitted and prepared a few pieces of content including a final review of mine, met with my closest colleagues, made my rounds with some of the others I'd always wished I got to talk to more, and tied up what seemed like a last few loose ends.

What I really wanted to do was put in one last day's work at the site. I had already packed up my stuff, had already told my team I was leaving and where I was going and what I was going to do next, and that I believed in them. This is simply the opinion of a longtime fan of this site: As the longest-tenured GameSpot editor, Jeff Gerstmann deserved a respectful send-off.

It seems he didn't get a chance to properly say goodbye here this week. Jeff Gerstmann and I got to work together at GameSpot for 10 years.
