Let's save cats from Oblivion!

Plus, that Polygon stuff

Listen to this week’s episode

The Besties talk about the brand new, ultra-indie immersive-sim Skin Deep. Then they revisit the world of Oblivion. But none of this matters because Plante got a CRTV to play Promise Mascot Agency.

  • Frush and many wonderful people are still with Polygon, so please keep reading!

  • Many other Polygon writers and editors are no longer with the publication. This lovely site (by Kaylee Rowena) will help you follow and support them, along with other independent journalists.

  • Plante’s out. (That’s me!) I’ll be okay. For the past year, I’ve wondered what it would look like to host a solo, listener-supported gaming news podcast. BBC/NPR-style, but make it independent. The thin silver lining of this miserable week is that I’ll be quite literally forced to chase that dream. Nothing quite like being tossed in the ocean and told to swim, am I right? I hope you’ll give this nascent thing a listen whenever it launches!
