Huge bummer to hear about Polygon getting sold to the slop farm Valnet. I remember a long time ago when Screen Rant had some interesting pieces on movies once and a while.

I wonder what will happen to their video division. I really enjoy their YouTube channel. I saw that their main short video contributor got laid off. Maybe they'll all land somewhere together. Or we can get some of them over on some Dropout shows!

I'm not someone who celebrates people being laid off.

I'm someone who celebrates pieces of shit being laid off.

I'm sure the good journalists among the bunch will be able to get a new job on media one way or another. The rest can put the fucking fries in the bag.

Polygon's been sold off to Valnet and they've let go a lot of staff in the transition. This is a massive blow to the gaming community; Polygon writers and video producers consistently put their heart, soul, wit, and humor into everything they created. People who were fired are posting on Bluesky; please help them find new work if you can, they're a talented bunch. https://kotaku.com/polygon-sold-vox-media-valnet-layoffs-digital-gaming-1851778655
