Polygon’s new owner says it will ‘do what’s right for Polygon’

Summary
The Canadian media firm behind the acquisition of gaming outlets such as Game Rant and TheGamer has bought Polygon from Vox Media, but the terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The company wants to make Polygon “the deepest possible coverage of the gaming space”, according to head of mergers and acquisitions Rony Arzoumanian.
They want to rebuild and invest in the platform, and over the next five to ten years, make sure Polygon has “triple-A” writers and editors on board.
Although most of Polygon’s staff left after the sale, including editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Arzoumanian said they would keep the archives available and there would be no repeat of Game Informer’s archives being deleted.
There will also be no use of AI-generated stories on the site and they are not making any changes in response to allegations of poor working conditions at Valnet.
