Ryan Wyatt, head of gaming of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) video sharing platform YouTube, has announced that he will be leading Polygon Studios, an organization tasked with assisting the development of the Polygon-based (CRYPTO: MATIC) crypto-enabled entertainment ecosystem.

What Happened: In a Tuesday tweet, Wyatt said that he's thrilled to be joining Polygon, but appreciates the time he spent working at YouTube.

In the emotional email sent to his Mountain View colleagues that he attached to the tweet, he says that he expects to "miss YouTube dearly" but recognizes that "it is time" for him to move on to new challenges and pursue his fascination with blockchain app development and web 3.0.

Holders of the Polygon token, called MATIC, responded with excitement to the news.
