We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.
The writer starts by getting everything down, then goes back and marks anything they could not defend if pushed. Those marks are resolved one by one, against a source or from experience, and whatever cannot be resolved is deleted rather than softened. A second reader then goes looking only for false certainty.
A few of the links here make us money. That covers the running costs and stops well short of buying a kinder paragraph around them.
If a partner asks us to remove a criticism, the answer is no, and the request itself may end up mentioned in a future article.
Each piece is signed, and each signature is a link to everything else that person has written. A house byline would let a weak article hide; a real name does not.
Toby Reyes, Game reviewer. Toby has a personal rule against reviewing a game he has not actually finished, even when a publisher's early review window makes that inconvenient. He writes reviews the way he would warn a friend before they buy.
Priya Anand, PC building and hardware writer. Priya has built her own PCs since she was a teenager and writes hardware guides without the jargon that makes a first build feel harder than it needs to be.
Callum Wexford, Streaming and content creation writer. Callum streamed to an empty chat for over a year before finally figuring out what actually grows a channel, and writes from that failure rather than from a highlight reel.
Published means published. We do not bump dates to look active, and an edit only changes the modified date when it changes what the article actually tells you to do.
Corrections go to info@wo-kygaming.com. Include the address and the sentence. Anything factual is fixed without argument. Anything that changes what the article recommends gets a dated note underneath, so the change is visible.
