Polygon is the site where they sent a reviewer to some kinda game expo or something and the guy did nothing but rant about how much he hated video games, how gamers suck (this was before the captial-G “Gamer” was coined), etc in an article that was supposed to be about the event. This was a long time ago, however a lot of people still hold a grudge against polygon because iirc they never apologized and doubled down instead. Additionally, because it’s been a long time since it happened, I may be misremembering some stuff.
