Giant Bomb’s Indie Media Reboot or Paywalled Farewell Tour?
The Scrappy Reboot No One Asked For Well, it finally happened. Giant Bomb, once one of the most respected names in gaming media, is now floating in the icy waters of independence after years of corporate shuffling. Vox Media, after acquiring both Polygon and Giant Bomb, went full Order 66 on their teams—mass layoffs, gutted staff, and enough drama to keep Reddit humming for weeks. But unlike its cousin Polygon, which was unceremoniously purged, Giant Bomb didn’t go out with a whimper. Nope. The remaining staff suprisingly grabbed the wheel and bought the ship themselves. Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast.
