Ziff Davis Sells 1up, Closes EGM
In a surprise move, following rumors yesterday, Ziff-Davis, the publishing giant, has sold 1up.com, and closed the legendary gaming magazine EGM. After 20 years, the January issue of EGM will be the last ever. It is the end of an era, folks, it seems print is dead, or almost dead. The buyer of 1up.com is UGO, a member of the Hearst publishing network. 1up should continue to function.
"The acquisition of 1UP, with its authentic voice, tenured editorial personalities and bustling user community, allows us to expand our base of quality content and represents a major step forward in UGO’s mission to become the leader in the games space."
