2024-08-26 09:33:21 +0000 UTCYou really need to look at the usability of the Polygon site. I genuinely gave it a decent go but its wretched post redesign. There’s no way to get a simple chronological newsfeed and pretty much everything above the fold is useless for your most engaged readers. My usage of the site has fallen off a cliff tbh.

2024-08-23 18:37:21 +0000 UTCYou guys keep mentioning the music from Steam World, you all should check out a local San Diego band named Steam Powered Giraffe. They do the music and appear in several games. Also, please check out Cat Quest 3, it’s such a fun, quick (10hoursish) game with co-op!

2024-08-18 11:00:04 +0000 UTCLooking at the Most Anticipated block and seeing the new Star Wars game is partially inspired by After Hours is certainly a way to quadruple my anticipation, so well done there.

2024-08-13 19:39:50 +0000 UTCI really love the redesign so far! Also agree with a lot of ppl, dark mode would be nice, especially by default. I haven’t tried it on desktop yet but on mobile, it’s nice to have a website that doesn’t instantly make my phone explode and has a more thoughtful user end. Long live Polygon 😤

2024-08-13 16:08:07 +0000 UTCYep, hoping to have a dark mode in the not so distant future!

2024-08-13 16:07:28 +0000 UTCThis is so exciting. Since the Twitter collapse I’ve had such a hard time finding online spaces that celebrate games and other media, and this feels like a step toward Polygon becoming that space. Love it 🔥🔥

2024-08-13 15:47:06 +0000 UTCI have a general aversion to websites that move from wide content fill to narrow fill, so it'll be an adaptation.

2024-08-13 15:45:02 +0000 UTCPretty solid improvement on desktop. Harder to parse on mobile. Biggest change needed is to have the “The Latest” header be clickable and bring us to a chronological list of articles posted. Well done on all the work!
David Tobin
2024-08-13 15:43:32 +0000 UTCI love you guys but this change has made it difficult to read, are there plans for a dark mode at the very least? It’s honestly giving me old Kotaku vibes which isn’t something I enjoyed either :(
