There's like two people running the site now after the layoffs. I guess the 80 thousand dollars from Microsoft only went so far. This also makes the Polygon documentary pretty laugh worthy.

I hope their web design folk find a less terrible company to design webs for because 80% of their perceived credibility was directly attributable to their page design being remarkably slick in a field where fullscreen Fart Cry background ads are the norm.

Special Crossover w/ 'drink every time bad guy makes a compelling argument' thread DLC post: Kotaku is actually an incredibly important stabilizing influence because it gathers a lot of terrible content in one place where no one will ever make the mistake of taking it seriously.

I'd sell out for 750k. I mean, it's "journalism" about video games, no one should be taking you seriously anyway.

750k only got a .5 mark increase over the ps4 so i bet microsoft are feeling the sting

Polygon got $750k from Microsoft and then made a stream where they poo poo on the Xbone for 24 hours, which was pretty ballsy
