Shawn Elliott going to game development
Etelmik \| 4:13 PM on 09.17.2008	11 comments

I know that it's a little bit not kosher to reference other media outlets, but surely for someone as awesome as this we can make an exception.

Shawn Elliott is leaving 1UP. This breaks my heart. There are few journalists that over the age of 30 that I consistently feel I can relate to, and this guy is one of them.

Good luck at whatever the hell game company you're going to work at, Shawn.

:( I am sad to see him leave 1UP cause he seems like a great guy but I don't blame him for wanting to do something different.

That really sucks since he is probably my favorite from 1up. Luckily I got to shake hands with the man at PAX. Hopefully he'll still do some podcasting of some kind since it would be a shamefor him not to.

Could be true, could be another one of their tricks. If it is true it sucks...

Can't be true.

But if it is;

The Official Death of the Brodeo.

Jeff AND Shawn? Soon Ryan will be gone.

The golden days are gone. Truly.

If he leaves I'm pretty much done with 1Up as far as reading goes.

Jesus, it's a regular fire sale over at 1up/EGM.
