Ryan Davis, an associate editor, experienced reviewer and nearly 8-year GameSpot veteran, has become the latest to quit in the wake of former editorial director Jeff Gerstmann's termination. GameDaily.biz reports today that it has confirmed with new GameSpot editor in chief Ricardo Torres that Davis will follow Frank Provo and Alex Navarro as the latest casualty to the site's editorial staff. News of the most recent resignation comes two months to the day that we warned of a mass walkout at the CNet Networks owned site.
Gerstmann and Davis appeared to have been close cohorts, with the pair performing as the musical outfit Suburban All-Stars. Davis wrote in his GameSpot blog within days of Gerstmann's firing that "I would not be in the video game business at all were it not for Jeff Gerstmann," adding that the controversial termination "absolutely breaks my heart" and signaled "the end of an era for both GameSpot and myself."

And Gamespot just keep on taking the hits. I wonder what this guy Davis would have to say in an extended interview. I wonder if someone could really get a whistle blower to rat out Gamespot if they really are "adjusting" the reviews per the request of certain companies who pay millions in advertising dollars. I wish....
I also can see all these guys who left Gamespot starting up their own game site. It is not like it is hard or something. Just takes a bit of cash and the know how and these guy know how.
