JackFetch Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 1up was sold and EGM canceled. Over 40 people have been laid off. The 1Up Show, and all the podcasts are gone. Garnett Lee seems to be the only one not fired. I'm a sad panda. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Garnett Lee said on his Twitter that there will be more "confirmations of weekends", so 1Up Yours will probably still be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 No more EGM? No more Retronauts? Fuckballs. RIP to the only site and magazine I still respected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Parish and Sharkey still have their jobs, so for now at least Retronauts isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Ha. Fantastic. Though I have to say, of all the people to keep on, I didn't think Scott Sharkey would have been high on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 No more EGM. Christ on a pogo stick. This is the only gaming magazine that doesn't make me want to eat kittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
