Comment on Polygon Has Been Sold With Mass Layoffs Hitting The Outlet

Says bought by parent company of thegamer and gamerant. I associate those with click/rage bait

It’s the cycle most gaming publications go through. I don’t think even IGN has much of any critical/cultural/marketing value anymore so good luck to any other website

Become games media big and then become more and more a game guide completionist blogspam website and milking a single interview into like 30 articles. Then terminate out as an AI generated articles Google SEO advertising revenue farm putting out articles like, “Has Persona 6 been Announced Yet?” that somehow instead of a yes/no is instead an article of 20 paragraphs saying nothing
