I want to preface this comment by saying I have nothing against Carolyn as a person and it sucks that she lost her job. That is the worst and only part I feel for.
I do not believe she is a very good writer, though. I want to say "especially for video games." I suspect she will find a much better job in the end. She would make a very good political blogger or whatever they're called these days. I think that's where her passion really seems to lie- all told.
With Tom Mc Shea, again, I don't have anything against him as a person. I don't think he's a very good writer. His interest in video games, also, seems much more passing (at least the way he writes about them) and seems like he wants a different direction for video games to go than I do. It still sucks that he lost his job, I am fine with disagreeing with everything someone says- it doesn't make them a bad person or whatever.
It is no surprise Kevin is still at Gamespot- Kevin loves video games and has been there forever. Ryan McDonald too. The old guard there is the old guard for a reason.
Honestly this was bound to happen. Gamespot has not been very interesting- beyond Danny's projects- for a really long time. They never seemed to figure out what they want to do to progress the site. I suppose that is a lot to ask, but Gamespot has been in a rut since 2006 or so.
