GitGud is published by Playfair Media. These standards guide our news coverage and the GitGud News Desk workflow.
Sources and accuracy
We prioritise primary material such as official announcements, developer posts, patch notes and publisher statements. A company announcement establishes what that company says; it does not mean we have independently confirmed its claims.
News copy should report supported facts, distinguish announcements from speculation and use figures with their correct measures. We do not invent quotes or first-hand experience. Direct quotes should preserve the speaker’s wording, meaning and context.
Automated assistance
We use automated tools to monitor sources, prepare drafts and check copy against the captured source material and our writing instructions. Some stories can be published after automated checks pass; others are reviewed and approved through our editing desk. Automated checks can make mistakes.
The GitGud News Desk byline identifies this publication workflow, rather than an individual reporter. We do not present automated drafting as on-the-ground reporting or first-hand gameplay.
Editorial independence and disclosure
Promotional claims should remain identifiable as claims. Sponsored content must be labelled, and review codes or publisher-funded travel must be disclosed when relevant. We respect embargoes and keep spoilers out of headlines and standfirsts.
Corrections
If you believe a story contains an error, email editorial@gitgudhq.com with the article link, the passage in question and supporting evidence. Material corrections should explain what changed; minor spelling and formatting fixes may be made without a separate note.
