oh good lord

i was told of the podcast debacle but this is

Polygon also got strangled today

Basically laid off the entire staff

fandom (company) delenda est

God AI hallucinations in game guides

Horrifying

Yikes

...well if you're playing old stuff, internet archive has prima guide scans rofl

Eugh, why this

oh the company that bought Polygon already owns like twenty worthless content mill sites, nothing has ever been more cooked

Yeah they fired a world class gaming journalism team so they can make the site as shitty and worthless as everything else they own

Ughhhhh yeah this is what I expected to eventually happen

I stopped paying attention entirely after almost all of the original staff left (no offense to the people who were still there, it just already smelled fishy) and just. Ugh.
