Amazon, PC Gamer Quick To Capitalize On FiringPosted 6:30pm Sun Dec 02, 2007 by Aaron Dunlap Tags: jeff gerstmann, amazon, pc gamer, moneygrubbing

Do a Google search for Jeff Gerstmann and you might be troubled by the automatic advertisement that appears on the right-hand side.

They Fired Jeff?
Get reviews from PC Gamer instead.

The link goes to an Amazon.com page at which you can subscribe to PC Gamer. It's a little funny, but I think it's slightly more pathetic. Someone lost their job. The entire game review industry is under suspicion. They want to sell magazines?

UPDATE: Using our own Google Adwords account, we sent a message to Amazon. See below:

The Amazon ad was removed soon afterwards.

No but I subscribed to Wired yesterday. Amazon has a $5 off subscription deal going on, so the $10 subscription became $5 total. For a year. Go me.
