    “The addition of Polygon not only strengthens our editorial muscle but also amplifies our ability to deliver unmatched value to both audiences and advertisers,” said Valnet CEO Hassan Youssef in a statement.

    That seems like it really won’t be true when you’ve laid off all the writers and editors who were doing that.

      A bunch of sites that have seen a noticeable downturn in quality since being acquired by Valnet. XDA and Android Police have really gone to shit lately. GameRant and Collider too. The Valnet guys founded Brazzers, if that gives you any idea of how shady they are.

      RIP Polygon.

      I use to read android police daily when I was younger, often checking multiple times a day for new articles. This was a routine of mine for years and these cock suckers bought them and it went to shit.

      Very noticeable shift in content and quality, wouldn’t recommend reading any of their stuff.
