Editorial policy

Last updated September 21, 2026

Sources and verification

We prioritize official store pages, developer or publisher announcements, patch notes, press materials with clear usage terms, and public platform endpoints. Community posts and user reviews may identify a trend, but material facts are checked against primary sources whenever possible.

Market signals

Player counts, rankings, review totals, and positive-review shares are recorded with a date or time. They are not treated as sales figures. Small samples, launch volatility, regional pricing, and incomplete public data are stated as limitations.

Reviews and previews

Coverage is not labeled a review unless the writer has actually played the game. Otherwise it is labeled market analysis, launch analysis, preview, or review-signal analysis.

Images and rights

We use official press assets when their editorial use is clear, or limited official store images for identification and criticism. Assets are stored locally rather than hotlinked. Generated illustrations are identified as editorial illustrations and are not presented as gameplay.

Corrections and relationships

Material errors are corrected in place, with the article date or correction note updated when appropriate. Paid relationships, review copies, affiliate links, or other relevant conflicts are disclosed in the article. We do not accept payment for favorable coverage.
