Ah, those 1UP folk are a resilient bunch, already coming back together for a podcast. I've been watching Suttner's twitter like a hawk waiting for this one. Not much left for me to weigh in on with that hasn't already been said, though the announcement post on UGO continues to provide lulz. I'm not quite on the same hate train that most other people are on, I just wish they'd stop trying to cover their tracks in such an evil corporate sounding way.
"But what many gamers have reacted to is an apparent loss of 1UP’s key podcasts, shows such as 1UP Yours and the 1UP Show. “I think you will continue to see video-casts and podcasts,” Moses said. “It may not be on the exact same schedule that it was. It may not be the exact same people. But it will continue being a part of 1UP.”"
-J Moses, CEO of UGO (mtv multiplayer)
I don't think he has a clue why people listen to podcasts, especially 1UP's (hint: tina and alice, nom nom nom). Hopefully RebelFM is a sign of better things to come, clearly we haven't seen the last of any of the laid off crew.
