Stupid UGO buying out 1up...
No more 1up Yours. Now how am I going to get my gaming news fix. It just sucks how the only way media can survive nowadays is these massive conglomerates that pretty much ruin all that is awesome.
I just hope no one has their sights set on Wrestlecrap. That's pretty much all I have left.

Also, because of the UGO/1up merger, there won't be any more EGM.
It is more or less kind of like the merger between TechTV and G4. UGO is G4 and 1up is TechTV. That should tell you how screwed over 1up is getting in this merger.

I just read that upwards of 30 people got fired from 1up, including pretty much the entire gamevideos staff, anyone involved in the podcasts, and the entire 1up Show production crew.
Other than 2 or 3 very senior editors, everyone is gone. This sucks. 1up was one of the better game sites out there. Now all we'll hear about is how much bikini models love playing that "OMG super cool new Hay-Low game"
