Crispy Gamer Editorial Staff No More
Joystiq broke the news, and Kyle Orland via Twitter confirmed, that Crispy Gamer, who bought GamerDNA recently, has laid off its editorial staff, consisting of: James Fudge, Scott Jones, Ryan Kuo, Anne Mischler, Evan Narcisse, Kyle Orland, John Teti, and Elise Vogel.
In protest, it appears CEO and co-founder Chris Helman resigned, signaling a decision by the board of directors that may have been both hasty and a rather terse decision.
John Keefer, also a co-founder of the site who has since moved on to GamePolitics, has shared with Joystiq:
It's hard to see a dream die, especially one you put your heart and soul into. The site was created for the readers and to give them an alternative voice, to dig deeper than many of the sites out there and to make readers think about what they play and why they play. Personally, I had a lot of fun in the process. Thanks to all the people that read the site and became part of the growing community.
We would like to offer our condolences to all affected.
