has word that UGO has purchased Ziff Davis' 1Up division, a move that has been
rumored for a while now, and true to other rumors, print magazine
EGM is not part of the deal, and is discontinued following the January, 2009
issue. They also have word that some 30 layoffs immediately followed the deal,
and the article offers proud quotes from UGO high command, as well as a copy of
an internal Ziff Davis email announcing the move and outlining plans for the
future. For the record, UGO places the advertising on this website.
This is absolutely terrible. 30 of the most entertaining, talented personalities in the industry just lost their jobs today. Some of the best gaming podcasts around were suddenly killed off. The 1UP Show will be no more.
UGO is fucking retarded - they just killed off every single piece of content that the "bustling community" they mention cares about. There will be no more community after this.
