" @Chabbs0 said:Jeff pretty much came out and said Nicholson's articles were late because of them, and that they didn't give as much of priority to news pieces.When you're paid to write and your articles are usually late, constantly full of typos, and sometimes contain misinformation, you are not doing your job well. I am a paid writer. I would be fired if my output was similar to Brad Nicholson's. (Brad is still submitting news articles, by the way)." @Bocam said:
If his job was to report news that was happening in the games world, then yes he was. "" @Chabbs0 said:

said:I think this is partly because they've brought in a full-time news writer and he's essentially got some "competition". He knew he'd have to step up his game if he wanted to keep this income-source." Brad Nicholson is also doing a great job. I feel like he's stepped up his game as of late."
Patrick's got a great track-record, however, and I'm excited to see what he does at Giant Bomb."
Oh, and Klepek has said that now since he's a dedicated news editor, he can greenlight his contributions well before Jeff and company could.
But Nicholson's leaving GB, and I have to believe it's because of the pricks who have complained consistently throughout his tenure here. He did his job. He did it just fine. I'm sorry he wasn't Brad, Ryan, Jeff, or Vinny. Patrick is still getting shit in the Bombcast threads, and his whole first week here because he wasn't one of the four.
This community is full of fucking assholes.
