TL;DR:

  • The failure has been on-going since GamerGate
  • The reason has been their prostelization of politics, and even open degeneracy
  • Their skill as journalists is garbage as they mostly just repeat press releases, or put out nonsense content that no one reads
  • The corporate media has failed to make any adaptations within the medium, they are still operating as if it's 2012.
  • The corporate media has also failed to adapt from their strategy that they 'hyper-partisan millennial youth audience' is out there waiting to save them and buy all of their garbage
  • There is open animosity between the journalists and the audience
  • Developers are being explicitly silenced and threatened by journalists, and these are statements coming from the devs themselves. See: KCD 2

Uhm, but KCD 2 was a total success for them. It's been subverted with DEI cancer and is basically a humiliation ritual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhIXIsJqFZQ and they got people to buy it by exploiting the reputation of the first.

The humiliation ritual in KCD2 is very Jewish, and Gitz is basically an unpaid JIDF operative lol

Well, you're interpreting my bullet point differently from what's actually in the video.

The Developer for KCD 2 was complaining that he felt like the was going to be threatened and harassed if he didn't make overtures to Polygon after what Polygon did the first time.

Nah I get that, but I'm saying it worked. They got exactly what they wanted. That wasn't a loss for them. It was a huge win.

Tactically, yes. Strategically no. Yes they won at 'owning the chuds'. Strategically they have continued to show that they are still nothing more than social terrorists, and have zero interest in ethical conduct, verifying the necessity of their destruction.

See: KCD 2

That's why Hogwarts Legacy was such a triumph too.

They tried to take on a behemoth and failed spectacularly.

And just like KCD2, Hogwarts Legacy was completely pozzed. There’s a tranny in the game ffs.

Hogwarts was a great showing of how many people's entire ideology and life is "the opposite of whatever the Left is doing."

Nope. It’s just the rise of YouTube and twitch. There have been several attempts to establish more politically neutral or right wing gaming sites, and they have all failed. Because streamers and YouTubers have completely replaced traditional video games journalism.

You missed the point. It's not about right-wing gaming. The point is that the journalistic medium of written investigations and reviews isn't being pursued because it's not mass consumable like YouTube and Twitch are.

Based Polygon was never going to work.
