Editorial Policy
Our scoring, our sourcing and our disclosures — written down so you can hold us to it.
Reviews and scores
Arcade Porch scores on a 10-point scale. A 5 is an average game, not a bad one. Scores are set by the reviewer and checked by the editor; publishers never see a score before publication. We note the platform, play time and whether a review code was provided.
Sourcing
News is confirmed with at least one primary source — a publisher statement, a filing, a developer post or a named individual. Rumours are labelled as rumours in the headline.
Corrections
Errors are corrected in the story with a dated note at the bottom. Email [email protected] to request one.
Affiliate links and sponsorship
Some Arcade Porch links earn a commission. This never affects what we recommend. Sponsored content is labelled “Sponsored” at the top of the story and is written separately from editorial.
AI and automation
Every Arcade Porch story is written by a named human writer. We may use software for transcription and research assistance, never for drafting published copy.
