At least valnet made the list of their brands easy to find if you feel like blacklisting them.

A bunch of sites that have seen a noticeable downturn in quality since being acquired by Valnet. XDA and Android Police have really gone to shit lately. GameRant and Collider too. The Valnet guys founded Brazzers, if that gives you any idea of how shady they are.

RIP Polygon.

Them owning OpenCritic was a big surprise to me. Wasn’t that site founded specifically because MetaCritic was shit? Might as well just use MetaCritic if both are run by assholes lol.
