One of the primary reasons 1up.com was so successful was because of the colorful personalities on the website and the podcasts – and to understand why UGO decided to let 30 of those personalities go in their aquisition of 1up.com shows tremendous irresponsibility on their understanding of the value of 1up.com. The I.P. is simply not worth as much without those personalities on board. My thoughts go out to the fallen staff of 1up…you will be missed and I hope something better comes from the ashes of this cataclysm.

Godspeed ex-1up staff, you are my best friends I’ve never met. To the survivors…keep the boat sailing.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I will be continuing to visit 1up.com as I am still a fan of the surviving editors’ work (Jeremy Parish and Garnett Lee immediately spring to mind). However, to say that 1up is the same is just a fallacy.
