Don Gordon (SVP of engineering) explains the Gamespot website, with Mark Jung saying :
“Not that we ever went anywhere, but we’re back,”- “There is one thing that we believe as a mantra, which is gamers come first, always. And we are so customer-oriented, we’re so gamer-centric. We understand the gamers and who they are and that’s the most important thing.”
“We’ve listened to our players. They want the convenience of instant access to their games wherever they are, but they also want to own the game and be able to play it locally on their home PC,”-“With this new offering, we’re continuing to expand on the compatibility, freedom and instant access our users enjoy, with the added flexibility of owning a local copy of their games.”
