Gerstmann Gone from Gamespot--What Really Happened?

Kyle Orland has been all over the Gamespot drama saga. Just to catch you up:

Jeff Gerstmann, the editorial director at CNET’s Gamespot.com, was abruptly fired last Wednesday after 11 years at the site. There’s a rumor going around that Gerstmann was canned because he was overly critical of Kane & Lynch, a game that was heavily advertised on the site. Eidos,the publisher, allegedly threatened to pull hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising if Gerstmann wasn’t fired.
