valnet fucking sucks
Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.
Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

It's fucking hysterical that Polygon (owned by Valnet) was the one that started this whole non-troversy and now TheGamer (also owned by Valnet) is over here like, "man, what a shame about the harassment and such..."

Valnet is a truly evil company
On Thursday evening Valnet issued new contracts to writers at TheGamer instituting a minimum article viewership threshold for payment.
Most writers already have pay tied to article performance, but this new system would mean that if a piece didn't get X number of clicks you wouldn't be paid for it.

Everything’s getting shut down or gobbled up by Valnet and IGN. Not great
Well, this explains why Brendan Sinclair got the axe: IGN acquires the Gamer Network (GamesIndustry.biz, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247 and Dicebreaker).
Media consolidation is bad for workers, bad for readers, and bad for the industry.
