Editorial Policy

Claude Gaming publishes gaming news, tier lists, guides and working game codes for players. This policy describes the standards behind all of it, so that you can judge our work by what we say we do.

What we cover, and what we skip

We cover things that matter to players: official release dates, major launches, platform and hardware announcements, big updates and events in popular games, and the free codes that games hand out. We write a story when there is a confirmed announcement and something worth explaining. When nothing strong has happened, we publish nothing instead of filling the day with weak stories. We do not publish rumors as news, and we do not write stories whose only purpose is a search keyword.

Sourcing

Every date, price, platform and number in a news story must trace to a source we fetched while writing it. We use the official source first: the publisher's newsroom, the game's own site or its verified channels. Each story is checked against at least two sources, and the official one is named in the Source line at the end. Anything we cannot verify is left out rather than guessed.

The pictures that open our news stories are official promotional images from the publisher, credited under the picture with a link to where it came from. When no clean official image exists, we use a Claude Gaming cover that carries no third party art. We only embed trailers from the official channel of the publisher or platform, never reuploads.

How we write, and where AI fits

We write in plain language, in the first person plural, without hype. We separate the facts from our own view: where we give an opinion, it is labeled as ours and it comes after the facts, never mixed into them.

We use AI tools in our research and drafting. The tools do not replace the rules above: a figure only goes in if it comes from a live source, and the same standards apply to a story whether a person or a tool produced the first draft. We are open about this because readers have a right to know how what they read is made.

Game codes and tier lists

The rules for codes are strict enough to have their own page: how we verify game codes. In short, a code is published when an official source posts it, when a trusted source confirms it with a recent date, or when two independent sources agree, and every page shows when it was last checked.

Tier lists state their criteria on the page. We compare several recent community rankings with the game's own patch notes and keep the majority view, and we re-check the list after balance changes. Where sources disagree, we follow the most recent majority.

Independence

We do not accept sponsored posts, paid links or guest articles. Advertising or affiliate links, where they appear, never decide what we write or which codes we list, and pages with affiliate links say so. We have no commercial relationship with any game studio or publisher, and the names and artwork of games belong to their owners.

Corrections

We correct mistakes in the open. If you find an error in a news story, a tier list or a code, write to us through the contact page and name the page and the claim. We check it and fix it. A significant correction is shown on the page with an updated date; a typo is simply fixed. Reader reports about broken codes are acted on first, because correcting a list matters more than replying to an email.

Updates

News stories carry the date they were published and the date they were updated when we change them. Code pages show when the game was last checked. Our about page explains who we are, and our terms of use and privacy policy cover the rest.
