According to a Reddit post, Arcade 1Up will shut down before the end of the year.

I feel like everyone knew this would happen for a couple reasons, but the biggest reason to me is that is was built on a fad that also ended. Even if they had an inexpensive product and higher quality products. To me, the Arcade1up explosion was great for a couple reasons:

• The masses allowed the development of several great innovations like a less expensive Star Wars controller and 4/8 way switchers
• I refurbed lots of games during this period and sold some for top dollar because of the increased demand
