Josh Larson, a key figure in GameSpot's "Gerstmanngate" fiasco, has gotten the sack, Kotaku reports.
Larson replaced GameSpot editor in chief Greg Kasavin and was GameSpot editor Jeff Gerstmann's supervisor when the controversy over Gerstmann's Kane & Lynch review began. When Gerstmann was fired last November, more than one finger was pointed at Larson's supposedly questionable editorial ethics as the cause.
In a post at Valleywag, a commenter calling himself "gamespot" suggested that Larson, "who had no editorial experience and was only involved on the business side of things," was more concerned with giving high scores to AAA titles than to actually reviewing them accurately.
He finished his post by saying "we're all hoping to get Josh Larson removed from his position because no one trusts him anymore." Whether or not "gamespot" really was a legitimate GameSpot employee, he is getting his wish: Larson's last day is this Wednesday, the 9th.
