About Gamers6
Gamers6 covers games the way we would want them covered: what actually happened, what it costs, and whether it is any good.
Gamers6 is an independent games publication. We write news, hands-on previews, practical guides and video breakdowns across PC, console and handheld. There is no review score, no affiliate rush and no coverage bought by a publisher.
How we source what you see
Every article on this site is held to the same rules, and they are worth stating plainly because a lot of sites do not.
- Images come from the people who made the game. Screenshots and key art are the assets a developer or publisher released to promote their game, hotlinked from their own servers: PlayStation Blog, Xbox Wire, Nintendo, Steam store pages, studio press kits. We do not generate artwork, we do not use stock photography, and we do not lift screenshots from other outlets.
- Video is the official video. When we embed a trailer or a showcase, it is the publisher's or developer's own upload on their own channel, checked before it goes in.
- Quotes and posts are verified. A quotation is checked word for word against the post, blog or press release it came from. An embedded post is the real post from the real account.
- We link to the source, not to each other. Our links go to newsrooms, store pages, patch notes, developer sites and official wikis. If we cannot corroborate a claim on a primary source, we either label it as rumour and say where it came from, or we leave it out and tell you what is still unknown.
Corrections
Games move fast and dates change. If something on this site is wrong, we would rather fix it than defend it. Write to the desk and we will correct the article and say what changed.
The desk
Sam writes about small studios and the games they ship against the odds, and turns the hardest parts of them into guides that get to the point.
Lena tests the hardware that games run on, from handheld thermals to controller latency. If a spec sheet is doing something suspicious, she has already opened the device.
Theo covers the business of games for Gamers6: studio moves, platform strategy and the press releases nobody else finishes reading. He files most days before the coffee is cold.
Mira leads previews at Gamers6. She has spent fifteen years playing co-op shooters badly and writing about them well, and she still keeps a spreadsheet of every weapon reload animation worth the frame count.
