1up / EGM Layoffs

I can't find another thread on this subject, but it needs to be discussed... This is _bad_, guys...

There are a variety of postings all over the web, but here's one or two:

Apparently many of the podcasts are affected...I know Retronauts and 1up Yours haven't updated in over a week, as I haven't been able to get them.

Here's a list of all the people affected by the layoffs:

Adrian Frieg
Amy Mishra
Amy Moran
Andrea Garcia
Andrew Fitch
Andrew "Skip" Pfister
Anthony Gallegos
Cesar Quintero
Christina Rosa
CoyLou Steel

I'm sure all the GWJ community wishes good luck to all these individuals. They all did some great work at 1up and will hopefully be able to find outlets for their creative skills!

The thread's in the 'Everything Else' forum.
