Game Empress Editorial Policy
This policy explains how Game Empress makes editorial decisions, verifies information, handles sources, reviews games, writes guides, uses AI tools, corrects errors, and protects editorial independence.
Game Empress is a gaming publication operated by Flaunt Weekly LLC. We publish gaming news, reviews, guides, release-date coverage, platform updates, entertainment features, and broader reporting connected to the video game industry.
This Editorial Policy applies to all editorial content published on gameempress.com, including news articles, reviews, guides, features, opinion pieces, explainers, deal coverage, and updates.
Game Empress covers the video game industry across PC, console, mobile, and related digital platforms. Our editorial scope includes breaking news, release announcements, trailers, game reveals, platform updates, publisher and developer news, guides, walkthroughs, reviews, features, and industry trends.
We avoid unrelated entertainment, general technology, celebrity gossip, finance, politics, or lifestyle topics unless there is a direct and meaningful connection to games, game companies, players, platforms, developers, publishers, or the gaming business.
We separate confirmed information, reports, rumors, opinion, reviews, and guides so readers can understand the confidence level and purpose of each article.
| Content Type | Editorial Standard |
|---|---|
| Official Announcement | Based on official publisher, developer, platform, regulatory, storefront, or verified company sources. These stories clearly identify the official source. |
| Report | Based on reporting from another outlet, named source, public record, or independently reviewed information. We attribute the original source and state whether the claim is confirmed by the company involved. |
| Rumor or Leak | Presented with clear caution. Rumors and leaks are not treated as confirmed unless verified by an official source or strong independent evidence. |
| Review or Hands-On | Based on direct play, hands-on access, review code, purchased access, subscription access, or another disclosed method of access. |
| Guide or Explainer | Based on direct gameplay, official information, patch notes, reliable documentation, or clearly disclosed secondary research where direct testing is not possible. |
| Opinion or Analysis | Clearly framed as editorial judgment, interpretation, or analysis rather than straight news reporting. |
Our preferred sources are official, primary, and directly verifiable. We aim to show readers where key claims come from and avoid presenting uncertain claims as confirmed fact.
- Official sources include developer blogs, publisher announcements, platform store pages, press releases, investor materials, regulatory filings, verified social posts, official trailers, patch notes, and support pages.
- Third-party reporting is attributed to the outlet or reporter that published it. We do not rewrite another outlet’s reporting as if it were our own original reporting.
- Leaks and insider claims are labelled with caution. We explain what is reported, what is unconfirmed, and whether the company involved has commented.
- Anonymous sources are used only when there is a clear editorial reason and when the information can be reasonably verified or corroborated.
- Social media claims are checked for account authenticity, source context, deletion risk, and whether the post is official, personal, promotional, or speculative.
- Screenshots, store listings, and trailers are checked against their original source when possible, not just reposted from aggregators.
Before publication, editors and writers check names, release dates, platforms, prices, editions, publisher/developer details, quotes, patch information, source links, and claim attribution where relevant.
For fast-moving news, we prioritize accuracy over speed. If a story changes after publication, we update the article, add new context where appropriate, and correct material factual errors through our corrections process.
- Names and titles are checked against official profiles, announcements, store pages, or reliable public records.
- Release dates and platforms are checked against official publisher pages, platform stores, press releases, or verified announcements.
- System requirements and editions are checked against official store listings, publisher pages, or technical documentation.
- Quotes and claims are attributed to the person, company, document, post, livestream, interview, or outlet that made them.
- Corrections are reviewed independently before changes are made to published content.
Game reviews, impressions, and hands-on coverage are based on direct experience with the game, demo, preview build, beta, event build, review code, purchased copy, or subscription access. The access method is disclosed where relevant.
- Platform tested should be stated in reviews and hands-on coverage where performance or platform experience matters.
- Access method should be disclosed when review code, early access, preview access, event access, or subscription access was used.
- Review scores, where used, reflect the writer’s independent judgment and are not controlled by publishers, developers, advertisers, or affiliate partners.
- Post-launch changes may affect older reviews. When major patches, DLC, monetization changes, or server changes materially affect a review, we may update or add context where appropriate.
- Conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Writers do not review or score games where they have a personal, financial, or professional conflict.
Guides and walkthroughs are written to help readers solve real gameplay, platform, or account-related problems. Where possible, guides are based on direct play, official instructions, patch notes, support documentation, or verified in-game information.
- Direct testing is preferred for gameplay guides, settings guides, troubleshooting, and walkthroughs.
- Secondary research is disclosed or handled carefully when direct testing is not possible.
- Roblox and game codes are checked where possible, but codes may expire, become region-limited, or stop working without warning.
- Technical fixes may vary depending on device, platform, version, region, account status, and server conditions.
- Guide updates are made when major game updates, patches, or DLC materially affect accuracy and when editorial resources allow.
Game Empress does not publish fully AI-generated articles under human bylines. Published editorial copy is reviewed and approved by human editors before publication.
AI tools may be used only for limited support tasks such as spell-checking, formatting assistance, research organization, headline brainstorming, workflow support, or technical cleanup. AI tools must not be used to invent facts, fabricate sources, create fake quotes, pretend direct gameplay experience, or replace editorial judgment.
When content involves direct experience — such as reviews, hands-on impressions, or tested guides — we do not claim firsthand experience unless the writer or editorial team actually had that experience.
AI-generated images are not used as editorial evidence. Images used in news, reviews, and guides should come from official press materials, licensed sources, platform/store assets, credited screenshots, or other legitimate sources.
Game Empress maintains a separation between editorial decisions and commercial relationships. Advertising, affiliate revenue, sponsored content, review codes, early access, gifts, or publisher relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions.
- Advertisers do not control news coverage, reviews, ratings, rankings, or editorial opinions.
- Sponsored content and paid placements are labelled clearly and kept separate from independent editorial coverage.
- Affiliate links may generate revenue, but they do not control recommendations or coverage decisions.
- Review codes and early access are disclosed where relevant and do not guarantee positive coverage.
- Conflicted writers or editors should not cover stories where they have a meaningful personal, financial, or professional conflict.
We correct factual errors as clearly and responsibly as possible. Material factual corrections are not made silently. When a material factual change is made, we add a correction note, clarification note, or update note where appropriate.
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, headline style, broken-link, or layout fixes may be made without a formal correction note when they do not alter the meaning of the article.
Articles updated with new information after publication may show an updated timestamp or update note, depending on the nature of the change.
Corrections are overseen by Rahis Saifi, Director. To report an error, contact editor@gameempress.com with the article URL, a clear description of the issue, and a reliable source supporting the correction.
Where possible, articles are published with a named author, editor, or editorial-team byline. Author pages should provide enough information for readers to understand the writer’s role, coverage area, and published work.
The Game Empress Editorial Team byline may be used for desk updates, collaborative reporting, policy pages, live coverage, and articles involving multiple contributors. A named editor remains responsible for editorial standards on content published under that byline.
Our editorial leadership and contributors are listed on the team page where available.
Readers, developers, publishers, PR representatives, and industry sources may contact Game Empress with news tips, corrections, announcements, review requests, and source material.
- News tips should include supporting links, documents, screenshots, or context where possible.
- PR submissions should disclose the sender’s relationship to the game, developer, publisher, or company involved.
- Confidentiality requests should be stated clearly before sending sensitive information.
- Embargoed information must be clearly marked with the embargo date, time, and timezone.
- Stolen, hacked, or unlawfully obtained material should not be submitted.
