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.
They're probably pirates too, since only they would find any sense in continuing a losing proposition and that something thats not profitable can't expect to remain in business.
The pirates in China beg to differ, as do the pirates in Somalia. Yarrr!
