I mean, not everyone is fired. And 1up will probably continue along in one way or another. But with all the layoffs and one of the few sites that even tried real features being swallowed by a site that is, frankly, IGN lite with male lifestyle stuff and lists, I find it hard to see the silver lining here.

Does UGO acquire all copyrights to ZD published material not currently on 1up? Do they have any interest in continuing the series updates? The podcasts are being terminated, but that is not the same as deleting. Will 1up continue in any form whatsoever after six months or will everyone be moved over to UGO? (IGN and Gamespy have stayed related but separate, for example.) A lot, I think, depends on how the merger/acquisition is structured.

That's primarily why I checked the site occassionally. I don’t suppose the Tom and Bruce series will keep going, will it? That’s primarily why I checked the site occassionally.
