The news keeps getting worse for Gamespot.

I just read on Joystiq that Ryan Davis is now leaving the formerly amazing gaming news site/community.

I just want to say, “Fuck you.” to Gamespot’s managers for not having the balls to respect Jeff Gerstmann‘s journalistic responsibility to write unbiased reviews. Rather than support him, you caved to your paid advertiser and let them bully you into changing both the written and video reviews, and then fired Jeff.

And CNET, screw you for not keeping your house in order. You used to own a gaming site w/ some of the most charismatic, honest and witty writers in the world. Now you own a big fucking turd.

I miss the old crew:
Rich Gallup
Jeff Gerstmann
Alex Navarro
Ryan Davis

Brad Shoemaker — when’s your two week notice? I know Ricardo’s gonna stick it out; he just got a fat pay raise as the new Head Mother Fucker In Charge. Who’s left? There are a few other guys who are entertaining, but man… that place is gutted now.

Gamespot exodus continues: Ryan Davis to leave – Joystiq:

Joystiq has confirmed with new Gamespot editor-in-chief Ricardo Torres that longtime staffer Ryan Davis has given notice that he intends to leave the site. While we haven’t been able to get in touch with Davis directly, a source close to Davis inside Gamespot told us, on condition of anonymity, that the controversial firing of editorial director Jeff Gerstmann was the catalyst behind the decision. The planned departure follows similar decisions by freelancer Frank Provo and staffer Alex Navarro in the wake of the scandal.

In a Dec. 1 blog post, Davis spoke of his close relationship with Gerstmann since before he started writing for Gamespot in 2000. “Jeff Gerstmann has been a significant figure in both my personal and professional life for a long, long time,” he wrote. “By my recollection, we were fairly fast friends, though I was also kind of pushy about it.” The pair played together as part of alternative rap group Suburban All-Stars
