It is clear that they have decided that with the McElroy Brothers gone that they shouldn't even attempt comedy anymore. It's sad because they had some very charming and humorous people on there that weren't named Justin or Griffin. Guess their stars hit the road and the company decided to go a different direction.

I hate the term "SJW" and think it gets thrown around too much, but a lot of their articles feel geared towards SJWs.

What, is that what happened?
Their YouTube stuff was so great, and now it's just bland and uninteresting.

It's pretty safe to assume in advance almost any article they post there is either going to have shades of that, or will be a spirited defense of anti-consumer practices engaged in by developers and publishers who certainly didn't influence the site's opinions in any way, absolutely not, I don't know why you would even insinuate that.

Kotaku is more or less the same - at this point both sites are pretty much garbage, and should be ignored by anyone who actually cares about honest reporting.

IGN always sort of skirts the same line, but isn't quite as bad as the other two.

i didn't even know the McElroys left, I guess that explains why there's been no monster Factory in like 6 months. They were the only thing worth watching Polygon for, kinda glad they got out of there.

What are they doing now?

mostly agree, but jason schreier is still the only actual journalist in the entire industry, as far as i'm concerned. the state of games coverage is truly at an all-time low, ok?

Is Polygon the pathetic group of beta males who take every opportunity to worship and defend their personal goddess, Anita Sarkeesian?

I am not afraid to express my opinions, no matter how unconventional they may be.
I don't apologise for doing so. If you don't like what I say, tough.

My impression is that Kotaku is the gaming site which consistently reports actual news, but I don't browse gaming news sites anymore.

Kotaku is even more of a joke than Polygon. Your impression is extremely wrong, no offense.

I believe they quit because they're making enough money off of their podcast empire to easily support their family and they found Polygon to just be a distraction when they could be using that time to be with their families.

They said they will continue doing Monster Factory sporadically.
