This is a big hit to gaming. Polygon was a reliable source and employed a lot of knowledgeable and passionate writers and creators. It had its critics because it didn't cater to gamergate, but for most of us that was a good thing.

Valnet has blown up many sites before to make unreliable content farms. They practically invented the business.

I hope the laid off writers at Polygon are able to make something like 404media.

I've never liked either kotaku or polygon but less variety is bad.

I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

Indulging in layoffs? [Sarcasm] What a surprise.
