Carnage at 1Up.com in Ziff-Davis’ Wake [UPDATE]

[UPDATE: It was Ziff-Davis responsible for the firings, not UGO.com.]
Joystiq has an overview of some of the carnage left at 1Up.com after being purchased by UGO.com.
Based on Twitter and forum posts by (now former) 1UP staff, it appears all but certain that the 1UP Show video podcast and 1UP Yours audio podcast are no more…
…At present, the following 1UP staff have indicated — either in tweets, forum posts, or directly to us — that they have been let go: Andrew “Skip” Pfister, Matt Chandronait, Ryan O’Donnell, Jay Fresh, Cesar Quintero, Philip Kollar, Nick Suttner, Anthony Gallegos, Shane Bettenhausen, James “Milkman” Mielke.
Joystiq did an update on the full list of people being let go – you can check it out after the break.
It’s a real blow the podcasts are done for. It’ll be hard not to have that weekly cookie from the editors.
