EGM Shut down, 1UP Sold
Ziff Davis has sold 1UP, shut down EGM. This is partially historical since EGM has been running since 1989, where Benj Edwards has a piece on it. 1UP has fired many staff members and got taken over by UGO, reportedly 1UP will be the same, but this was taken apart. We'll see what the fallout of this is, but no doubt Ziff Davis will disappear from videogames media and 1UP will continue in some fashion for at least a while.
