Ensigame Fact Checking Policy

100% Accurate Headlines

We strive for 100% accurate headlines and apply a rigorous vetting process to every news article on the site. Rumors and insider reports are identified accordingly to ensure distinction between confirmed information and industry buzz that is of interest to our readers.

Before any article is written, we ensure the information is new and accurate. We verify sources and always dig down to the original source (and reference material if applicable) before the writing process begins. Even if other outlets report an unsubstantiated piece of news as official confirmation, we require 100% confirmation to claim it’s actually confirmation. We do not post clickbait. Our headlines might be bold — but we don't throw out broad statements just to sound bold. It has to be accurate and fact-checked. Ensigame's articles don't just report the news, we provide industry-leading context that explains why that news is important to you.

Ensigame editors report from the video game events our readers (new and returning) love most. Passionate gamers, cinephiles, TV addicts, and comic book nerds, Ensigame's team comes from diverse backgrounds in film studies, creative writing, video production, and business management brought together by a passion for all things entertainment and a goal of providing the best, as well as most engaging, content possible for visitors to our site.

Checking For Official Comment

Anytime we cover a rumor or leak or announcement from non-official sources (from Reddit, social, YouTube channels, untested publications, etc.) we reach out to a rep and/or public relations. Even if they cannot comment or don't answer, we did reach out. We ensure everyone has an opportunity to weigh-in. Our writers and editors are industry veterans and make sure every new article has the latest info, the most accurate info, and all relevant details.

When we are the original source, we follow basic journalism principles. We value these open lines of dialogue with major developers, publishers, studios, and PR firms.

Considering The Big Picture

Standards for feature content are the same and we stress the importance of research and objectivity — as well as presenting a clear argument (and when drawing out a conclusion or theory, considering and including relevant counter-arguments). This approach allows us to address more possibilities and answer questions before they’re asked by readers.

For corrections or update requests, please contact [email protected].

Ensigame Corrections Policy

Adding Corrections

As mentioned in our fact-checking policy, we aim for accuracy of info at all times, as well as transparency in corrections. If we update a post because there's an error in it (we included the wrong producer or actor in a cast list, or had the wrong date, etc.), we add a bolded correction line in the article. This makes certain we remain accountable for our content and abiding to trusted journalism standards. We believe that with great power comes great responsibility. We aim to be accountable, accurate, and an authority.

Updating Story Threads

In addition to corrections, we believe it is important to update content (both related and evergreen) where possible — when new info is available. When we post news or a feature, all previous stories/features on that subject are updated with links to the new post so that readers always have the full picture no matter which of our articles on the subject they land on.

For corrections or update requests, please contact [email protected].

Ensigame Ethics Policy

Our entertainment brands do not publish personal attacks against people and companies in the industries we cover, or against colleagues in our industry. We stress objectivity in reporting topics of a sensitive nature.

We abide by Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, meaning all video game reviews must state which platform game was played on and who provided a copy (if a copy was provided). Regional or platform-specific considerations are also noted. On games coverage, reviewers are always separated from previewers/interviewers (i.e. if a writer is invited to a studio visit, they will not review that game). We strive to keep editorial/criticism objective and separate from studios access/relationships and our monetization teams.

Giving Credit and Acquiring Written Permission

Unless assets or news (press releases) come from official studio sources or their PR affiliates, we always provide credit to original sources. We believe it is our responsibility to contribute to the online publishing ecosystem and best journalism practices. For images, non-official art, etc. we credit the artist and seek to contact them as well for permission to use their work.

Spoiler Considerations

For previews and reviews, we always honor embargoes and save spoilers for when we have permission to post — or after release. If these are major or sensitive spoilers, we keep them out of headlines and images until a sufficient amount of time has passed to ensure readers are not exposed to any info they are not actively seeking out.

We're not here to ruin the experience of entertainment for our readers, but to serve those looking for this content. If there are spoilers and publication will occur during the release window, we will always include a spoiler warning at the top of the article.
