If I could take back a single story this week, it's this one. We tend to avoid journalistic navel gazing, and this one qualifies as a "slap yourself on the back, Patrick" kind of story. There was no reason to post this, and I felt bad after it went up. It was tempting to take it down and say "this was stupid," but one should live with mistakes.
I totally disagree with your thoughts on your story here. It was a valid point you made about that Xbox dev article.
There has been a lot of discussion lately about Giant Bomb and it's crew. Many of us, both on your staff and in our community, acknowledge that we need to fix some things. I don't think that precludes us from critiquing others.
I personally think that when you, Patrick, say something that you mean it. From what I hear you say and see you write I don't believe you are capable of writing something that is there to garner you a "slap on the back".
I have seen a bunch of "I quit" posts in the MMO I play every time there is a major update. Some people dislike change. I was, frankly, pissed at the start of Tested's departure from the old Whiskey Media group, but they are going better than ever now.
Giant Bomb has been through some significant changes in the site's time. I would be curious to know how many threads there were on Jeff and co's departure from GameSpot, we all know what that lead to.
