Editorial Policy

Clear takes, real sources

We aim to publish useful, accurate game news with enough context for readers to assess it. Reporting, opinion, and speculation should be clearly distinguishable.

Sourcing and verification

We prioritize official sources such as developer and publisher announcements, patch notes, release pages, and direct statements. We also use reputable reporting, credit the outlet, and link to the original source where possible.

We check names, dates, platforms, and other central claims before publication. When a claim is unconfirmed or sources disagree, we say so. Rumors are not presented as established facts.

Editorial independence

We do not present paid placement as news. Any sponsored content must be clearly labeled and kept distinct from independent reporting. If we use affiliate links in the future, we will disclose them clearly in the relevant content so readers know that purchases may earn us a commission.

AI-assisted work

AI-assisted drafting may be part of our workflow. A human must verify factual claims against real sources before publication and remains responsible for the final article. AI output is not a source or a substitute for verification.

Corrections and updates

We welcome corrections and update articles when facts change or errors are found. Significant corrections receive a note explaining what changed. See our Corrections page.
