The real story behind this episode is likely to remain shrouded in a legal cloud so this explanation may be has good as it gets.
  
  


More movement in the Gamespot Kane & Lynch "scandal" with the site's management finally posting a response. Denying Eidos had any influence in the dismissal of reviewer Jeff Gerstmann, Gamespot say the writer was dismissed due to issues, "unrelated to any publisher or advertiser". The infamous video review was apparently taken down due to audio issues caused by a faulty microphone. Oh, and, "concerns about the limited amount of footage, which was unrepresentative of the game in the review." Clearly an attempt to wipe the slate clean the statement declared, "we stand behind the editorial content that our teams produce on a daily basis". The real story behind this episode is likely to remain shrouded in a legal cloud so this explanation may be has good as it gets. Convinced by it? Or has your trust in games media gone for good?
