Editorial Standards & Methodology
About GameIndex
Building the highest-fidelity strategy database and companion guides for the modern gaming era.
Our Core Editorial Mission
GameIndex was founded to counter the proliferation of low-quality, automated game walkthroughs that fail to verify factual data. Every recipe formula, boss drop rate, and mechanical blueprint published on GameIndex originates from hands-on gameplay verification and rigorous data auditing.
Our 4-Level Fact Verification Standards
- Level 1 (Confirmed In-Game): Numerical stats, input combos, and quest paths are directly recorded from production game builds.
- Level 2 (Official Developer Disclosures): Patch notes, official developer Discord announcements, and Steam announcements.
- Level 3 (Attributed Community Discoveries): Speedrun routes and community datamines explicitly credited to original authors.
- Zero Speculation Guarantee: We clearly demarcate unverified speculation and actively purge superseded patch data.
