What will happen to 1up now that most of the editors have been fired?

With UGO buying 1up and firing most of the staff what will happen to 1up?
will it continue on? will it die a slow death? will there be a mass flight?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Some of them will relocate to New York, and some features were salvaged, but it looks like they have been fired.

I believe that 1up will go on, but we can see that a lot of the staff is being laid off, and I don't suspect that means that they're being replaced with someone new. I can't foresee that this will show any improvement in the short future for readers.

1UP will continue on, and from what they're claiming they won't be changing the way they do things, they'll just be doing a whole lot less in terms of the podcasts, the shows, etc. So the editorial direction will remain the same - UGO is apparently letting them do their own thing content-wise - but there won't be the same volume of cool stuff.

If you're really sad about the podcasts being over, a few of the 1up people have already started a new podcast. You can download it here:
