After buying IGN, Ziff Davis is shutting down UGO, 1UP, and GameSpy

, ,

Publishing company Ziff Davis is shutting down iconic gaming news sites UGO, 1UP, and GameSpy, according to a memo sent to employees by CEO Vivek Shah today.

 The company justified its acts so it could focus on its two core brands, IGN and AskMen, each of which will now have their own separate advertising departments, according to the memo. Ziff will also stop representing advertising for third-party sites like FamilyGuy.com and GameStop.com. Additionally, Ziff is “actively engaged with parties interested in acquiring” its IPL gaming league, but it still plans to broadcast video coverage of e-sports events via IGN.
