Crispy Gamer editorial staff laid off, CEO resigns in protest
Just what the hell is going on? Crispy Gamer was an independent gaming blog, a quality gaming blog, one which I thought practiced some genuine journalism! Never mind that it had a stupid name, it was good! But Joystiq are reporting that the entire editorial staff of the site has been laid off. Chris Heldman, the CEO (and formally of Google) resigned! So why did this happen?
As far as can be made out, the decision seems to be based on the fact that Crispy Gamer Inc. who own Crispy Gamer are controlled by shareholders, and they like money. Having recently acquired GamerDNA (a service you will be abundantly familiar with if you follow Haygood on Twitter) they decided to change tack from focussing on the editorial content of Crispy Gamer to the gaming social network of GamerDNA. Fair choice… or it would be, if it wasn’t shafting the Crispy Gamer staff. They get paid for a month, but the termination is immediate. Good luck to all the Crispy Gamer writers… hope you land on their feet. At least nothing like this will happen here at Aeropause… hopefully.
