Editorial Policy

Last Updated: 12 June 2026

Our Mission

The Games Quarter exists to provide honest, informative, and engaging coverage of the gaming industry.

Our goal is to help readers make informed decisions about the games they play while fostering discussion and appreciation for gaming in all its forms.

We aim to deliver content that is accurate, fair, transparent, and independent.

Editorial Independence

The Games Quarter maintains complete editorial independence.

Our opinions, reviews, rankings, and recommendations are not influenced by:

Game publishers
Developers
Hardware manufacturers
Advertisers
Sponsors
Affiliate partners

No company can purchase favourable coverage, review scores, or editorial opinions.

All editorial decisions are made solely by The Games Quarter and its contributors.

Reviews

Our reviews are based on the experiences of the reviewer who played the game.

We aim to spend sufficient time with a game before publishing a review and evaluate factors such as:

Gameplay
Performance and stability
Visual presentation
Audio design
Accessibility
Value for money
Overall enjoyment

Because gaming experiences are subjective, different players may have different opinions.

Our reviews represent our honest assessment at the time of publication.

Review Copies

We may receive review copies, preview access, or early access versions of games from publishers and developers.

Receiving a review copy does not guarantee positive coverage.

Publishers and developers do not receive advance approval of our reviews and cannot influence the content of our coverage.

Where applicable, we will disclose when a review is based on a copy provided by a publisher or developer.

Review Scores

If review scores are used, they should be viewed as a summary of the reviewer’s overall opinion.

Readers are encouraged to read the full review rather than relying solely on a numerical score.

A review score reflects our opinion at the time of publication and is not an objective measure of quality.

News Coverage

We strive to ensure that all news articles are:

Accurate
Timely
Properly sourced
Fairly presented

While we make every effort to verify information before publication, mistakes can occasionally occur.

If an error is identified, we will correct it as quickly as possible.

Features and Opinion Content

Features, editorials, podcasts, and opinion pieces reflect the views of the individual author or contributors involved.

Opinion content should not be interpreted as factual reporting.

We encourage respectful discussion and differing viewpoints within our community.

Corrections Policy

Accuracy is important to us.

If a factual error is discovered, we will:

Correct the error promptly
Update the article where necessary
Clarify significant corrections for readers

Readers who believe an article contains inaccurate information may contact us at:

Affiliate Links

Some articles may contain affiliate links.

If a reader makes a purchase through one of these links, The Games Quarter may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, recommendations, or editorial decisions.

AI-Assisted Content

The Games Quarter may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with certain aspects of content creation, research, editing, or production.

All published content is reviewed by a human editor before publication.

Editorial responsibility for all published material remains with The Games Quarter.

Community Standards

We encourage constructive discussion and debate.

Comments or user-generated content may be removed if they contain:

Personal attacks
Harassment
Hate speech
Spam
Illegal content
Misleading or harmful information

Moderation decisions are made at our discretion to maintain a respectful community environment.
