Having the gall to talk about social issues or the state of the industry as a whole rather than just being an “apolitical” hype machine.
It really sucks that Polygon is dead because they wrote some ridiculously fun and even thought provoking articles over the years. But, silver linings, it is an even bigger magnet for people to show their asses than ronnie radke.
I thought they were more interesting than average, even when I disagreed with a take. The kind of site there should be a ton of, with varying takes for people to despise to a baffling degree. Sad to see it gone, or "gone" and turned intp a slop factory with known terrible working conditions for the people left.
Regardless of feelings about the people themselves, it's awful that they fired the union members probably deliberately at this point in the sale so they wouldn't have to go along with their contracts.

Sad to see. I didn’t love everything they produced but they still had winners. They kind if reintroduced me to the gang over at Dropout. I hope everyone lands in their feet, and it’d be nice to see some of then over at Dropout.

Rest in piss, i will not miss those terrible fucking articles
Should we be concerned ?
Absolutely not.
They had a real disconnect with the gamer community.
Way too overproduced, which means they’re spending more money on nonsense while driving away people who can see through it.
Honestly, no sympathy from me. Glad there’s one fewer company that’s just “checking boxes.”
Checking what boxes?

Block list getting LOTS of exercise out of this.
Yup, at the end of the day, the community just wants content that glazes the games/devs they like and hates on the games/devs they don’t.
Doing anything else is going to make a lot of the community upset
Who’ll now provide shit takes so divorced from public opinion?
