UGO boss on 1UP: "We really have largely left it alone"
Published on
After news broke yesterday of Ziff Davies quitting the industry for good, and 1UP being bought out by UGO amid a round of redundancies, J Moses, CEO of the UGO Entertainment told MTV that he feels the criticism of UGOs treatment of 1UP and its staff is unfounded.
"We really have largely left it alone," said Moses when questioned.
"We kept, we believe, the core editorial group that can continue to do great things. What we’re adding is 1up.com as an editorial site that will sit on top of the UGO publishing site. And we kept who we believe are the critical people who can make up a great site."
Moses goes on to say that EGMs closure had "absolutely nothing to do with UGO."
