Game Empress is a gaming publication operated by Flaunt Weekly LLC. We publish gaming news, reviews, guides, release-date coverage, platform updates, features, and broader reporting connected to the video game industry.

This Fact-Checking Policy applies to editorial content published on gameempress.com, including news articles, reviews, guides, explainers, release-date stories, system-requirement posts, deal coverage, Roblox or game-code articles, and updates.

Game Empress aims to publish accurate, clearly sourced, and properly labelled information. We do not treat every claim the same way. Official announcements, direct evidence, third-party reports, rumors, leaks, opinions, and analysis are labelled according to their confidence level.

The level of fact-checking depends on the type of article, the speed of the news cycle, and the potential impact of the claim. Key factual details are checked before publication wherever practical.

• Names and titles — including game titles, developer names, publisher names, executive names, studio names, platform names, and character names.
• Release details — including dates, launch windows, early access periods, platforms, editions, preload dates, pre-order bonuses, and regional availability.
• Store and platform details — including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, mobile storefront, subscription, and cloud availability.
• Prices and deals — including sale prices, discounts, bundle details, currencies, retailer availability, and whether a deal may vary by region or account type.
• System requirements — including CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, operating system, performance targets, upscaling features, and official PC specifications.
• Game updates — including patch notes, DLC details, balance changes, server status, removed features, bug fixes, and version-specific changes.
• Quotes and claims — including developer statements, publisher comments, livestream remarks, interviews, social posts, investor statements, and public documents.
• Guides and codes — including gameplay steps, item locations, puzzle solutions, working codes, expired codes, redemption instructions, and patch-sensitive methods.
• Reviews and hands-on claims — including platform tested, access method, approximate playtime, build version where relevant, and whether the writer directly played the game.

When sources conflict, Game Empress gives more weight to primary, official, and directly verifiable sources. Secondary sources may be used when they provide original reporting, context, documents, interviews, or evidence not available elsewhere.

For news articles, writers and editors check the main claim, source attribution, context, and any details that could mislead readers if wrong.

• Confirmed announcements should identify who confirmed the news, where it was confirmed, and what details are still unknown.
• Reports should name the reporting outlet or source and state whether the relevant company has confirmed the information.
• Rumors and leaks should use cautious language and should not be written as official announcements.
• Fast-moving stories may be updated as new information emerges, with update notes or clarification where appropriate.
• Headlines should match the confidence level of the article and should not imply certainty beyond the available evidence.

Reviews, previews, impressions, and hands-on articles require direct experience or a clearly disclosed basis for the coverage. We do not claim firsthand testing unless the writer or editorial team actually had that experience.

• Platform tested should be disclosed where performance, controls, features, or technical quality matter.
• Access method should be disclosed where relevant, including review code, preview access, purchased copy, subscription access, beta access, or event demo.
• Approximate playtime should be included where useful for review transparency.
• Build/version context should be added when a review, preview, or technical impression may be affected by pre-release or post-launch changes.
• Review conclusions must reflect the reviewer’s independent judgment and cannot be dictated by publishers, developers, advertisers, affiliate partners, or PR representatives.

Guides, walkthroughs, code lists, settings articles, troubleshooting posts, and system-requirement articles can become outdated quickly. We aim to make clear what was tested, what was sourced, and what may change.

• Gameplay guides are preferably based on direct gameplay, official instructions, patch notes, or verified in-game information.
• Roblox and game codes are checked where practical, but codes may expire, become region-limited, or stop working without notice.
• System requirements are checked against official store listings, publisher pages, or developer announcements where available.
• Technical fixes may vary by platform, device, build version, region, account status, server status, and game update.
• Outdated guide details may be corrected or updated when readers, editors, or official updates identify material changes.

Game Empress may cover rumors, leaks, datamines, insider reports, or unconfirmed information when there is clear reader interest and enough context to report responsibly. These stories must be labelled carefully.

• Rumor language should appear in the headline or early paragraphs where needed.
• Original source attribution should be included when reporting a leak or third-party claim.
• Company confirmation status should be stated clearly where relevant.
• Speculation should not be mixed with confirmed facts in a way that misleads readers.
• Deleted or unverifiable posts should be treated cautiously and should not be used alone for serious claims.

Gaming news often begins on social media, livestreams, Discord servers, Reddit, forums, platform stores, or screenshots. We handle these sources carefully because they can be incomplete, deleted, edited, miscaptioned, or fake.

• Verified accounts are preferred for official social-media claims.
• Screenshots should be checked against the original post, page, listing, trailer, livestream, archive, or official source where possible.
• Embeds should not replace editorial verification when the claim is important.
• Community posts may be useful for reaction or context, but they are not treated as confirmation of official facts.
• Deleted posts should be described carefully and should not be overclaimed without supporting evidence.

AI tools are not treated as factual sources. They may be used for limited support tasks such as formatting, organization, spelling checks, workflow assistance, or research planning, but they must not replace source verification or editorial judgment.

• AI cannot confirm facts unless the claim is checked against a reliable source.
• AI cannot create sources, quotes, release details, gameplay claims, or review experience.
• AI-assisted workflow must still be reviewed by human editors before publication.
• Firsthand experience is never claimed unless a writer or editor actually had that experience.

If a published article contains a material factual error, we aim to correct it clearly and responsibly. Material factual corrections are not made silently. When appropriate, a correction note, clarification note, or update note is added to the article.

Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, headline style, broken-link, or layout fixes may be made without a formal correction note when they do not change the meaning of the article.

Corrections are overseen by Rahis Saifi, Editor-in-Chief. To report an error, email editor@gameempress.com with the article URL, a clear description of the issue, and a reliable source or evidence supporting the correction.

Readers, developers, publishers, PR representatives, creators, players, and rights holders may contact Game Empress if they believe an article contains a factual error, missing context, outdated information, broken source, or misleading framing.

A strong correction request should include:

• The article URL where the issue appears.
• A clear description of the sentence, claim, image, table, or section that may be incorrect.
• The corrected information and why the current version is inaccurate or incomplete.
• A supporting source, such as an official page, store listing, public statement, patch note, document, screenshot, or other reliable reference.
• Your name and affiliation if you represent a company, developer, publisher, PR agency, rights holder, or involved party.

We review good-faith correction requests, but we do not make changes based only on unsupported claims, personal disagreement, harassment, speculation, or pressure to alter fair criticism.

Fact-checking decisions are editorial decisions. They are not controlled by advertisers, affiliate partners, sponsors, developers, publishers, PR representatives, review-code providers, or business partners.

• Sponsored content must still meet basic accuracy and disclosure standards.
• Affiliate relationships do not determine whether a claim is true or how it is corrected.
• Review-code access does not prevent criticism, correction, or independent judgment.
• Business pressure is not accepted as a reason to remove accurate, fair, and properly sourced reporting.
