Wombat really seemed to enjoy what he was doing there, despite the pay. He got a nice amount of junk drawer games (which ended up more useful as trade-credit), seemed to have fun writing the blog and don't forget the Advance Wars event. I think Wombat can make it being that it isn't his full time job.
Now of the EGM employees, many work for 1Up and I'm sure their top review team will make it safe. I wouldn't think that will be the case with a large portion of the EGM team that's not as well known though.
