He left like a month ago - I am sure they had a private send off, drinks or whatever. Also the kid was dropping about that time so he had other things to worry about.

I believe he said they held off the announcement until the replacement was decided and Dave got to address it himself.

It was a clever bit of PR. If the announcement was "Dave's gone!" there would have been am internet shit storm with conspiracy theories and proclamations of doom and gamespot mergers. Instead it was "Dave's gone - we are all sad - but look at this shiny new Matt Rorie!".

Besides, as someone said, he isn't dead. He wasn't fired. He isn't moving state and just bought a house in the same town as Jeff and Ryan. Any gushing farewell tribute would have been a bit odd.

I think Brad's gf found out about the affair so she had to skip town.

@foliorumviridum: Good to see you found a new home for your moaning. Still perma-banned from neogaf? There are a lot more like minded complainers on the GB gaf thread, you might find support harder to come by here.

If you seriously feel short changed then PM or hit Rorie up on twitter, He is supposed t be the community liaison now. Bitch to him and he might bitch to the others - better chance than hoping they read the forums.

Do you mean - how close to the conference will we find out if the specs leaked all over the internets for months are accurate. The PS4 leaks were spot on except for the last minute ram bump.

Countries try not to detain rich and/or influential people who are not citizens. The rest they arrest and see if anyone kicks up a fuss. I think maybe you confuse dual citizenship with diplomatic passports.

I thought he was up his own arse before all this crap. After that twitter begging letter I though he was kinda pathetic and felt sorry for him. If it turns out it was PR bull from the beginning - guess I was right in the first assessment.
