Apparently, UGO owns 1UP now.
JTHomeslice \| 5:55 PM on 01.06.2009	11 comments

It's been rumored that UGO was interested in purchasing 1UP, and now they did. This article says it. They own all their subsites as well. It doesn't mention EGM at all, so who knows what's up them. Yeah, not much to say.

Edit: EGM is dead. That sucks.

Edit 2: According to Ryan O'Donnell and Matt Chandronait, the 1UP show is dead and the video team has been laid off. That really sucks.

It's been confirmed that the January issue is the last for EGM.

As long as the podcasts live on I will be ok. If not, Sad Panda :( Sad to see EGM go.

Yep, Jan issue is the final one AND I hear that the podcasts are finished and most of the staff is being fired....

I'm seriously in utter shock. I've been reading EGM since 1989. I hope those guys land on their feet somehow...

What the fuck? First the (awesome) OPM is canceled, then EGM? You have to be kidding me! Well, at least I still have my Game Informer and Popular Science subscriptions.

This is awful. Awful, awful, awful. I mean, not so much that EGM is gone - it was on borrowed time - but that 1Up is pretty much, for all purposes, dead.

It's quickly becoming a cold, cold gaming journalism world. Will we and Giant Bomb be the last two indie sites left?

Soooooooo whats the point of 1up now? No 1up show, no podcast, no soul.

I dont understand how Dtoid and GB manages to make ends meet at the end of the month... is sad that they depend so much on an industry that sometimes I feel so ashamed for the crap they make I just want to stop playing games.
