Chris Grant: new national video gaming site Polygon to be led by Fishtown’s former Joystiq editor [VIDEO]

Vox Media’s new gaming site, Polygon, (originally known as Vox Games) launched earlier this week. The new sister site to SB Nation and The Verge has a cool Philly tie.

Polygon Editor in Chief Chris Grant is a Fishtown resident. The former Joystiq editor, with whom we’ve profiled, wrote an introduction to the new gaming site here.

Polygon will live at The Verge for a little while longer, according to Grant’s introduction.

The Polygon team created and introductory video to the new brand which offers a little insight into what you might expect — but don’t get too excited, we’re pretty sure that Grant’s interview wasn’t done in Fishtown.
