By Alleef AshaariVerified|October 9, 2020|0 Comment
Many employees of games website Gamespot have been laid off. These include the following:

if you have any openings in writing, social media, editing, podcasting, anything, please please send tips or opportunities my way. i have nowhere to go if i lose where i live.
After 12 and a half long years of good times and great work, my role with GameSpot has been made redundant.

If anyone out there could use the skills of someone with this much senior editorial and video production experience, well, my schedule is looking pretty free right now.
After almost 9 years I'm sad to announce I have been made redundant from GameSpot. It really was the most fulfilling job with the most incredible people. Please keep me in mind if you know of anyone looking for a host, video producer, games journo, etc. ??

So, I have also been laid off from GameSpot.

I'll be sending out a lot of feelers, but if you want someone with 7+ years of experience in games, 5 of which are in video production, hit me up.
That's all. Much love to everyone else in this situation with me. It sucks.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, these layoffs are a result of the pending acquisition of CNET Media Group (the parent company of GameSpot, CNET, Metacritic, and Giant Bomb) by Red Ventures.
In an official statement, a Red Ventures representative said:
“As part of Red Ventures acquisition agreement with ViacomCBS, Red Ventures will retain a vast majority of CNET Media Group employees and assets under the Red Ventures business umbrella.
The deal has not closed and to protect the privacy of our employees we cannot release additional information at this time.”
Red Ventures began its acquisition of CNET Media Group from ViacomCBS for US$500 million last month. ViacomCBS originally acquired the websites for a whopping US$1.8 billion back in 2008.
We at Kakuchopurei wish all the best to all the former Gamespot employees affected by the layoffs. It’s always devastating when you’re unceremoniously fired from your job, especially with little to no notice like this.
