How we report

Sources on every story. Articles link the announcements, data and reporting they rely on, and say when something is unconfirmed.

AI use stated plainly. We describe what the AI in a game actually does, using the same feature tags as the database, without hype.

Corrections in the open. If we get something wrong we fix it and note the change at the end of the article.
