I was at the PAX East panel back when they first revealed Polygon was the website's name.
I've been a daily reader ever since. My heart breaks for everyone impacted by this galaxy brain business decision.
Here's Vox Media's CEO announcing the gutting of Polygon:
“In journalism, there are really bad jobs. And then there is a place like Valnet,” a former Collider contributor told TheWrap. “[It’s] one of the worst places that I’ve ever worked and is probably one of the worst journalism publications I’ve ever seen.”
the lonely Girl Gamer™ who didn’t have people to play with as a kid became an adult who advocated for games unions & storytelling that is liberatory in no small part because of polygon.
also, on fucking international worker’s day????? unbelievable
what @Valnetinc did to @Polygon today is disgusting and fills me with the deepest dread about the future of this form of art. this braindead, tasteless, media illiterate corporation bought out and laid off the literal frontlines of fighting for the artistic merit of games
