Cunzy11, thatguys part ways
After nearly 2 years of news, reviews, awkward ramblings, Pokemon fanficcery and Vaginal/games development, Cunzy11 editorial director's tenure ends; TGAM editors address controversy surrounding his departure.
The past week marked the end of an era at TGAM. After several years working his way up through the ranks, Cunzy11 tenure as co-writer has ended.
"Cunzy11 was a central figure in the creation and evolution of TGAM, having written hundreds of incoherent ramblings, and occasionally sorting out the links bar," said Richie, Co-writer of TGAM. "The award-winning writing team he leaves behind wish him nothing but good luck in his future endeavours. Homophobe."
Due to legal constraints and the company policy of TGAM, details of Cunzy's departure cannot be disclosed publicly. However, contrary to widespread and unproven reports, his exit was not a result of pressure from a certain developer who may (or may not) have been happy with the tone of one (or more) of our reviews.
"TGAM has ever allowed its sponsors to affect its editorial content," said Richie, TGAM Entertainment's vice president of Sextoys. "The accusations in the media that it has done so are unsubstantiated and untrue. Cunzy’s departure stemmed from internal (ruptures) reasons unrelated to any sponsor, developer or otherwise affiliated with TGAM."
"Though he will be missed by his colleagues, Cunzy's leaving does not affect TGAM's core mission of delivering the crudest news, occasional video content, picture reviews, and biased reviews in games journalism," said Richie, executive producer of TGAM Live. "TGAM is an institution, and its code of ethics and duty to its users remains unchanged."

complete **** and you know it TGAM. You have lost all credibility with everyone, this website will forever be the laughing stock of gamers everywhere. Maybe at the end of each review you can say "sponsered by Ubisoft" and stop with these lies.
ReplyDeleteSame old PR spew, doesn't solve anything but serves to cover TGAM's a**. It's going to take a little more than cookie-cutter PR speak to convince me that the piles of evidence out there for the theory that Cunzy was fired because of an advertiser, are all wrong.
ReplyDeleteWell if true, and it does sound plausible, then at least it's TGAM and not Ubisoft (directly).
ReplyDeleteI can avoid one game site if needed, but I'd hate to have to cut out a game developer due to these shenanigans.
To the folks at TGAM, I'd suggest you work on your resumes. Chances are that unless the jerk-off suit who quarter-backed this decision is held accountable (both professionally and publicly), you can rest assured that your site will never again be visited by me (and I'm sure many others).
Assassins Creed is piss and it got what it deserves.
ReplyDeleteI love TGAM and I'm not about to watch some money grubbers ruin solid reviews because of cash. Although it is already happening with games like Halo3. Run of the mill games like that don't deserve 9.5s.
F.
I know everyone knows this already, but I still have to say that this thing is a total disaster for TGAM.
ReplyDeleteJust remember people, if you are boycotting TGAM you should remember to avoid That Girl's A Maniac too

Thatgirls was a potential side project that never came to be.
ReplyDeleteDue to girls not being very good at games.
