One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up  —  The video game website Polygon has been sold to Valnet and much of its staff has been laid off, Kotaku as learned.

I loved my time with Polygon; it was an honor and privilege to help shape its success.  And I know every writer, editor, videographer, etc., is gonna go on to do incredible things—as will the folks still there!—but this is such a heartbreaking moment kotaku.com/polygon-sold...  [embedded post]

Sad news from Niantic. At the same time, there's a voice in the back of my head wondering if this is not just getting lean because economy but also for any M&A opps. After all, Niantic has a user-friendly-ish AR SDK (Lightship) and every major tech co is ramping up ($) AR/XR work https://twitter.com/...

Sony reveals the PlayStation VR2's design: lighter, with a lens adjustment dial, new vent layout, and similar white-and-black color scheme
