Image courtesy of Kotaku.comThis one hit too close to home. UGO Entertainment and parent Hearst Corporation have acquired 1UP and its associated sites. After the buyout came mass firings, all of which included the 1up Show production crew and the EGM staff. Among the fallen were long-time employees James Mielke, Skip Pfister, Ryan O'Donnell, Cesar Quintero and Shane Bettenhausen and new staff members including Philip Kollar, Nick Suttner, and Anthony Gallegos. There is a list of 40+ employees and we send our best wishes to them. Many of them have already fallen on their feet and started a very anticipated new podcast labeled Rebel FM. You can DL the new podcast here http://www.eat-sleep-game.com/news/ and follow some of the ex 1uppers as they bounce back and even better than ever.
