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

Polygon, Vox Media’s gaming-focused platform, has been acquired by Valnet, which already owns numerous brands in gaming, entertainment, sports, travel, and more. The sale comes amid ongoing changes at Vox Media, with some employees expressing frustration over the shift from being part of the Verge to Valnet. Arzoumanian emphasized that Valnet remains committed to ensuring Polygon continues its deep coverage of gaming and that the site will keep its archives intact without AI-generated content in the future.
