On getting through Gerstmann-gate and winning back readersThere is a succulent reminder at the beginning of the interview that the guy who kept his mouth shut is now the boss, and that predictable enough, the whole Gerstmanngate affair can be called "died down".
"We were all pretty taken aback and surprised by how it all went down. ... Hindsight's always 20/20, and I think we've made it clear that we would have loved to have done things differently, but dwelling on it isn't going to help things. ... Our goal really is to just acknowledge what happened, that we're bummed about it, but we do still need to take GameSpot forward."
"GameSpot's gone through quite a few bumps in the road over the years. I know Jeff's fans are upset and I know people are upset over the perception and how it all played out. Really, the best thing that we can do is to just show them that we're good at what we do. Ultimately content is going to prove to people that we're untainted, uncorrupt and committed to serving our readers."
