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?
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.
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
