Hey Snide! I used to contract at GameSpot, and was even at Ziff when it was spun off into it's own thing. I'd just like to say I was fired in 2001 for pissing off an advertiser. Game journalism was already dead by '08. It never really had much of a foothold outside a few outlets, all of which are either gone or no longer trustworthy. Also, game journalists get shit pay, so there is little incentive to do it right.
