Bye bye 1up
By Bigska 2 Comments
Sad sad day. I hate when people you know lose their jobs. You feel so sorry for them but you know their is nothing you can do for them.
It is especially bad for the 30 something souls at 1up because of what they represent to the gaming community. Collectively they were
the face of "real" gaming television and podcasts. Just as developpers really started making their faces known(CliffyB, Kojima) so had
these guys (Milky,ShaneB,Ryan&Matt....etc). The thing that separates them from the other "hosts" of video game TV is that they aren't
trying to sell you something. Really think about it, when was the last time you saw a really objective preview for a game from anyone
else than 1up(keep in mind I don't watch everything out there). These guys care about giving you the news you need, not the news they
want you to need. I hope to find the same here Giant Bomb. You better not dissappoint!!!
In the end I hope everyone affected ends up on their feet. Good luck guys.
