▸EDITORIAL STANDARDS
We'd rather tell you exactly how the sausage is made than pretend a faceless brand tested everything in a lab. Here's our process, our limits, and the line between our guidance and our advertising.
Usefulness over volume. A guide earns its place if a player can read it and immediately do something better — change a setting, understand a spec, fix a real problem. We avoid per-patch tier lists and "top 10" filler that's outdated by the time it ranks.
We use AI tools to help draft and structure articles from a brief we write. That does not mean "publish whatever the model says." A human editor sets the topic and angle, checks the steps for accuracy, removes anything wrong or unverifiable, and signs off before publishing. AI assists; the editor — Joy Jacob — is accountable for what ships. We won't publish mass-generated, unreviewed pages, because that's exactly the low-value content readers (and ad networks) rightly reject.
Games and drivers update; menus move; "best practice" shifts. When we learn something is wrong or outdated, we fix it and, for anything material, note it. Spot an error? Email us — corrections jump the queue.
We name games and gear to inform, under nominative fair use. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any publisher or manufacturer, and we never imply otherwise.
Best Gaming is funded by Google AdSense display ads and by affiliate links on some gear recommendations. Two firm rules:
Guides that touch health-adjacent topics (posture, eye strain, ergonomics) or hardware risk (overclocking, BIOS changes) are general information, not medical or professional advice. Listen to your body, understand a change before you make it, and consult a professional where it matters.
