What is the GameSpot Basic newsletter?
That’s a great question, and all great questions demand a great answer. This may sound odd, but the GameSpot Basic newsletter is not actually a newsletter at all. Rather, the GameSpot Basic newsletter is a means by which GameSpot can e-mail you change-of-service updates or new feature additions. It’s our one line of communication, if you will. In an increasingly sensitive e-mail spam environment, GameSpot has to be really careful how and when we send messages to our users. So we require that you confirm your e-mail address upon sign-up, and we then reserve the right to communicate with you from time to time. Unfortunately, the only way to remove yourself from the GameSpot Basic e-mail list is to cancel your GameSpot Basic account. That is to say, in order for you to be a member of GameSpot Basic, we must reserve the right to contact you. If you really want to cancel, please go to this URL: http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/misc/basic/cancel.html.
