How we write
Gamebonk News is a small desk with a simple pipeline. Every night an editorial agent reads the day's gaming coverage across major outlets, picks the stories that multiple newsrooms are reporting, and drafts an original write-up grounded only in that reporting. Every article cites its sources in the box at the bottom.
Nothing publishes itself. A human reads every draft and decides what goes live. If a story is thin, conflicting, or just not interesting, it dies in the queue.
What makes our coverage different is the database under it. Gamebonk tracks thousands of releases nightly (dates, stores, prices, community hype), so our stories link every game mentioned to its live tracking page. The weekly roundups go further: they are built entirely from our own data, not from anyone else's reporting.
Our house rules:
- No fact appears unless a cited source (or our own database) states it.
- A story needs at least two independent outlets covering it before we touch it.
- Headlines say what happened. No bait, no withheld twist.
- Article art comes from game press assets in our media pipeline, never lifted from another outlet.
- AI drafts, humans publish. Corrections replace the text and bump the updated date.
