17-year veteran Jeff Green is leaving the editorial side of the industry to join the Sims team at EA. Any thoughts? Does anyone else care?
This is kind of bumming me out, because he was an integral part of arguably the best video game podcast, GFW Radio.
(1UP story)

I am not really what you would call a PC gamer so I never paid very much attention to GFW, but I hear that he's a star there. I hope that he does well at EA, though.

WHAT?!

Oh shit. You aren't lying are you? I must go check 1up.

Unless Jeff Green has been credited in a game, I'm going to put this page forward for deletion.

It'll be rough for them losing such a veteran, but there's a lot of talent at 1up still.

Dude thats really depressing Jeff was awesome, GFW radio wont ever be the same.

My favorite podcast will never be the same. :(

What? He's been one of the more famous editors for years. Why delete him? I'm writing up an article for him on here right now.

"Unless Jeff Green has been credited in a game, I'm going to put this page forward for deletion."

He works on The Sims."

Sucks that he's leaving the Brodeo, I enjoyed listening to him on GFW Radio. I wonder what will happen now with him gone, will they continue with the podcast, change the name, etc?

And a response to the moderator who so harshly and bluntly put his statement to a farewell topic, Jeff Green is going to enter the industry to work on The Sims team, so I believe you should  treat this like Greg K's and numerous others former journalists who went to work on the video game industry. Have some respect.

Damnit. Well, good for him, but still, damnit.

He will be working on Sims games in the very near future. Clearly, this is not an unwarranted page. Rorie has not been credited in anything released yet, but he has a page. Same concept applies to Jeff Green. He will be working on games very soon, thus deserves a page.

Your opinion has been duly noted, I'll talk to the guys and see what they say about this sort of thing before deleting.

GFW Radio isn't just my favorite podcast, it's my favorite weekly entertainment period. This hasn't even sunk in fully for me yet, but I feel like I've fallen on my face, like the carpet has been ripped from underneath me. When I'm having a really bad day, it doesn't matter how bad, as soon as I hear "Hello and welcome to GFW Radio!" everything's cool.  Of course, this isn't about me, or any of us, although Jeff certainly took us into consideration in his decision. I wish him the best at his new job and may actually pay attention to The Sims now ;). But seriously, dude HAS to guest at least occasionally. 

I think what would be best is to delete the page now perhaps and then have it added again once its made official?

I'm pretty sure that Jeff Green has a writing credit on at least one of the Warcraft games.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the same Jeff Green...he is a huge WoW geek...if that helps.

"Maybe he can take Rod Humble's spot as "Podcast emissary to 1Up". But it will be weird to hear the dude schilling games as opposed to criticizing them."

I think what would be best would be to reconsider the one-sentance "rule" dictating what warrents a person having a page on this website. This guy isn't sweeping the floors at Konami. He's relevant to the industry and the single-sentance "rule" should be changed."

Maybe, but for right now, that's the rule.  If you guys can find a game that Jeff Green is legitimately credited in, great...otherwise the page is going to have to go for now."

We have a Jeff Gerstmann page, which game was he legitimately credited in?
Don't delete Jeff Green's page, unless you also delete Jeff Gerstmann's."

jeff is credited in guitar hero or something."

The thanks appear during the in-game credits.  This has all been well-established long ago.  

Brad was credited along with Ryan & Jeff in the same section of GH2.  I've already been over this several times, KindGalaxy.

Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis were credited for giving airtime for guitar hero on the OnTheSpot segment for Guitar Hero 2, development? No. Leave the Greenmachine alone! Or go talk to whoever to get these gaming journalist enthusiast press people acceptance into the GiantBomb wiki, be a hero, take a stand, accept the professional unwashed masses we look up to! (outside the Giant Bomb staff!)

The reason a person appears in a game's credits is irrelevant.

Find me a published game that Jeff Green is credited in and the page stays.  Otherwise,it goes.  It can come back as soon as an upcoming game he works on is published and he appears in the credits.  For the last time,  this isn't about liking or disliking someone.

He's now working on the Sims franchise, that's a fact, so add that. Every article (VEIGN, IGN, 1UP, Armchair, NeoGAF are all saying he's working on The Sims franchise, even Wikipedia says it, he's on the development team according to all those websites. What else is needed? Not every single people page on this website has game manual credits, Jeff Green is working on The Sims franchise, done! Now keep the page.

Lol. Hopefully he'll be cool and still have some community involvement like Navarro and Rorie and those ex-GS guys who are now working at game developers. I'm more worried for the Brodeo than I am for him. You need a strong host personality, and Shawn Elliot just won't do.
"

I thought the episode where they were pitching game ideas in the mall (with all the music mixed in) was excellent.  I'd actually like to see alot more creative stuff like that.

The 1up FM that Elliot just hosted was fantastic as well.

There is no god.

This is a testament to how incredible Giant Bomb's staff is. Jeff (Gerstmann) himself added Jeff Green's credited games. I love Giant Bomb.

Jeff Green lives! Thanks Giant Bomb.

I think my avatar speaks for itself. He has all my <3 and support though. I hope he has a wonderful time at EA.

Congrats to him, but srly, the sims must be a pretty boring game to work on.

"I think my avatar speaks for itself. He has all my <3 and support though. I hope he has a wonderful time at EA."

Haha.  Intern Chris sucks. =]

"I think my avatar speaks for itself. He has all my <3 and support though. I hope he has a wonderful time at EA."

At this point they should just announce who plans to stay at Ziff Davis.

Girls don't play real games? God. How many times do I need to beat you before you get that thought out of your head? I guess I have to earn respect, pwning one boy at a time. =|
And I wouldn't want to guilt trip anyone into staying. He's been here for 17 years! Cut the man some slack.
