Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post.

Agreed. Giant Bomb pioneered so much in games media, and for it to end like that is such a shame.

As far as I am concerned, the GB I loved was already struggling after Alex, Brad and Vinny left ; and it ended for good when Jeff Gerstmann was fired abruptly (again !). This news still saddens me however, and I wonder what will be the legacy of GB down the road.
