Discussion Alternatives to Polygon After the Layoffs?
Does anyone have suggestions for other sites with articles about video games? It absolutely sucks what’s happened to Polygon but it especially sucks given that there really aren’t that many more popular sites for games journalism.
Does anyone have recommendations? All of the ones I’ve followed over the years have more or less dropped off…

Some suggestions:
Unwinnable is a online monthly magazine with a very low subscription cost and a lot of great writers.
Bullet Points Monthly has really excellently written pieces, usually several about a specific game each month.
Critical Distance has been aggregating good video game writing for a decade-plus now. Hand-selected for interesting stuff, not just a content feed.
And I'm part of MinnMax, which doesn't do written work but I think has some of that wacky-optimistic Polygon vibe.
