[Guled]

[rollingstart]

sad to see 1upshow and the crew go

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Ryan(O'D) just got laid off!!!

Fuck

This is bummer news. I liked EGM, but more importantly i loved the 1up show and the 1up podcasts, and editors.

I hope everyone that was fired lands on their feet soon.

This sucks

 

[VGChampion]

1up was the best. I really hope everyone pulls through despite overwhelming odds.

Maybe some will go to Giant Bomb?

 

[sublime085]

Nooo, Ryan was the only creator of the 1up show left, and among my favorites of the whole 1up crew.

This is really shitty. Best of luck to all.

 

[AstroLad]

I'm probably going to subscribe to Edge now to fill in the gap EGM/GFW left.

You won't be disappointed.

 

[Shurs]

Damn.

 

[Dante]

Shiiiit reading that Ryan is gone just sucks...... These guys will land on their feet, they are a talented bunch.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Nooo, Ryan was the only creator of the 1up show left, and among my favorites of the whole 1up crew.

This is really shitty. Best of luck to all.

Seriously. Ryan was always my favorite.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I wonder how many of them IGN/Gamespy will pick up. I want to hear all their voices on podcasts soon.

 

[Zombie James]

No thank you Skip for all the weekends you guys started.

 

[Geoff9920]

:O What the fuck.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Seriously. Ryan was always my favorite.

This kind of helps put a personal face on those so-huge-they-are-abstract jobs numbers each month. So many good people losing work, despite kicking ass. Brutal times.

 

[Guled]

thanks for your support with the podcasts. it was fun.

can this night get any worse

 

[Hostile Paradox]

I think my buddy is going to commit suicide. He's reading this right now next to me.

Edit: Made me edit this. It was a joke.

[Zombie James]

I'm going to make an EXTRA SPECIAL UGO avatar and never, ever change it.

 

[polg]

[Banana Kid]

I guess that means your laid off too?

If they're cutting jobs, a "podcast director" sounds pretty expendable.

 

[Dante]

From Matt's Twitter

No longer has a job. Neither does most of Gamevideos. No more 1UP Show. Thank you, all of you, for the run!

 

[jacobs34]

I'm sorry to hear about EGM and the 1 Up Show, the work you guys did was truly transcendet. Good luck to everyone who gets laid off, hopefully you will all land on your feet soon.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

No more podcasts? Now I'm sad

 

[MThanded]

[Nakazato]

Mangod comes on and says Garrett and him got laid off

 

[ferricide]

i was laid off from ZD a little over 4 years ago.. funny how it all comes rushing back when you hear the news. guess it helps that i know these guys so well.

fuck. dunno what else to say.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

[Crateman]

Ryan's Twitter:

If anyone wants to buy the fastest, hardest-working video team in this business or any other, we're now available!

Ok GAF, let's get cracking!! How much do we need!?!?

 

[rollingstart]

[Grecco]

Hope the guys that lost their job find work quickly. What a shitty shitty day.

 

[MaritalWheat]

thanks for your support with the podcasts. it was fun.

no dude, thank you. you put in a fuckton more effort than was called for into making 1up podcasts as good as they were. i really hope you guys can manage some reunion shit sometimes...hopefully while enjoying shiny new well paying jobs.

 

[kenta]

[Virtua Ben]
