CNET websites & Eidos games will be filtered from NeoGAF in protest

[EviLore]

In support of Jeff Gerstmann and in protest of the alleged wrongful termination, NeoGAF will be filtering CNET websites and Eidos properties from our site for the remainder of 2007. I realize that Gamespot remains a major source of news, and Eidos has some games that someone here may possibly care about, but I request that no member starts a thread about a Cnet website or an Eidos game for the duration of the protest unless it is related to the Gerstmann/K&L controversy. If you're unsure, just preview your thread and check for asterisks.


This will include:




Note: due to the nature of the filter software, some of the game titles will be only partially filtered since we can't do phrases.

Sweet Sweet Justice

[Ten-Song]

Sucks that this all had to happen. Seems like no matter how he was fired, it was at the whim of someone throwing an infantile tantrum.

[GDGF]

I'm down. Power to the people.

(pumps fist)

[MightyHedgehog]

No auto-replace for Eidos or Cnet?

[AEGISX]

i'm 100% supporting EviLore

[OnkelC]

Congratulations on that bold move.

[Joseph Merrick]

Heh.

[nofi]

Gamespot.com GameFAQs.com Metacritic.com Gamerankings.com CNET.com News.com Eidos.com

Spooky. That's my favourites list in Firefox. In that order, too.

[Antdogg355]

I completely agree with this thread.

[pulga]

This is awesome

FIGHT THE POWER

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Deus Ex is suffering for Eidos' evil. :'(
But I support this move.

[AniHawk]

You rock, EviLore.

[Tonedeff]

I support this move

[TDG]

Alright. Nice work, fellas.

The loss of gamerankings will make this forum much better, in fact. No falling back on "WELL IT GOT 70 FROM GAMERANKINGS..."

[cvxfreak]

Wow. Time to show some solidarity I suppose.

[squicken]

Daikatana

Thank God you struck that out. I don't want any possible Daikatana sequel talk to be verboten on GAF

[IcebergSlim3000]

Not only did I not care about any of those games I dont visit any of those sites. So basically business as usual. I support this cause.

[M3wThr33]

No DX3 talk, eh? All for the better.

[RandomVince]

Here here. Or Hear hear in case I mix up my homonyms.

[Oldschoolgamer]

Awesome.

lolz

[theultimo]

Supported.

[EvaPlusMinus]

kind of funny when you put it that way. I can imagine some higher-up just looking him straight in the face, saying "you serious?" and punching him.


hah

[Kuran]

The games is a bit overdoing it... will you lock all Deus Ex threads? :(

[Lobster]

Jeffs reactions to this thread are in...



He approves!

Jeff is soon going to be pretty much a legend of gaming and he should be applauded for not falling for money-hats.

[ItsInMyVeins]

Awesome.

Good decision, EvilLore.

[Dever]

I approve of this.

[Gowans007]

Thanks, Great move by GAF, hope its also covered by the guys who put together agrigator gaming news pages (gametabs.com) etc...

Nice move EvilLove/GAF


On the news I also removed Gamespots

On The Spot
HotSpot
& Gamespot UK podcasts from my list.
(now I need more UK podcasts)


Appalling behaviour.

Eidos games now go along some of EAs titles (handshaking online servers) on the boycott list

[Mistouze]

RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWER!!!!

[acklame]

Thumbs up.

[Amarnath]

The right step to take and I support it fully

[Amir0x]

Never thought I'd see the day neoGAF is in complete solidarity in defense of Gerstmann, but this is just that kind of event. Well done EviLore

[Lobster]

Btw, I reckon this thread should be stickied instead of the getting fired thread.

Never thought I'd see the day neoGAF is in complete solidarity in defense of Gerstmann, but this is just that kind of event. Well done EviLore

Lets hope Gerstmann, after seeing this thread doesn't browse the rest of GAFs threads about him and his reviews.

[hanpusu-taichou]

This is pure awesomeness.

[Borys]

Deus Ex 3...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Rlan]

"Commandos" might not be the best idea since the XBLA Capcom game "Commando 3" is coming out.

But really, before this all happens, give it a few days so we can figure out EXACTLY what's the deal. If still no news, do as you wish.

[EMBee99]

Splendid move. I'd also suggest utilizing email and snail-mail to voice your opinion to Eidos and CNET. Angry Gamer has the addresses here.

Nothing gets to a company faster than people promising never to buy/use their products ever again. Let 'em know, folks.

[EvaPlusMinus]

RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWER!!!!

you are doing it wrong

[Tieno]

Deus Ex 3... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You've had a rough time lately.

[CSSer]

Nice move guys

[Borys]

You've had a rough time lately.

My fucking luck :(

[Infernal Monkey]

Oh thank God, this'll cut down on the pointless review threads a bit I guess... for a month. ='(

"GAMESPOT REVIEWED A GAME! COME DISCUSS!"
"Yep, they sure did"
"Wow they gave it a score out of ten and everything!"

WOW, I guess I never realised how many sites were cnet related.

[ItsInMyVeins]

This isn't about Gerstmann though, even if he's/was the spark. Anyhow. I support this all the way.

[VaLiancY]

I'm down. We need some avys. Get your filter on.

[KyanMehwulfe]

Deus Ex is suffering for Eidos' evil.

Neogaf is JC Denton and Eidos is Majestic 12. Cnet can be their VersaLife puppet.

Do it for Paul.

[radioheadrule83]

Excellent move.
I've not kept up since last night... has it emerged this was definitely something to do with his reviews?

[sprsk]

Werd. Fuck those guys.

[Crusade]

Good stuff. I think Gamespot should be kept on the ban list entirely, they openly admitted they're susceptible to advertisement cut-ins and moneyhats. I hope Jeff has enough integrity to go back, even if they offer

[brocke]

Splendid move. I'd also suggest utilizing email and snail-mail to voice your opinion to Eidos and CNET. Angry Gamer has the addresses here. Nothing gets to a company faster than people promising never to buy/use their products ever again. Let 'em know, folks.

Think it will be more effective if I send an email or call them and complain?
