About
Who runs WoKy Gaming, what the blog covers, how articles are researched and checked, and how to reach the people who write them.
WoKy Gaming is a blog, and the line under the logo, Games worth your actual time, is the whole editorial brief. New articles go up when they are ready, and everything we have published stays available in the blog archive.
We started publishing after realising that the useful information about video games and gaming gear existed, but only in the heads of people who had no reason to write it down. WoKy Gaming writes it down.
People ask about the name. There is rarely a good story behind a domain, and there is not one here either. WoKy Gaming was available, it was short enough to say out loud, and it has been the name long enough now that changing it would be more confusing than keeping it.
What we do not do is predict outcomes. Nothing about video games and gaming gear works that way, and pages that pretend otherwise are selling something.
Nothing here is written from a search results page. If we have not handled it ourselves or spoken to somebody who has, we leave the topic alone until we have.
We are independent. Nobody pays for a favourable mention, and the wording of an assessment does not change because a partner asked.
How claims get checked and how money is disclosed is written down separately, on the editorial policy page.
There is no house byline here. Each piece is signed, and each signature leads to everything else that person has put their name to.
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.
The site pays for itself through a small number of outbound links. It has never been enough to change what gets written, and the day it is, we will say so here.
One article, one topic. It keeps the category pages usable, and in practice game reviews, gaming hardware and genre guides are where most readers end up.
Tell us which line is wrong and why, at [email protected] or through the contact page. Small errors are corrected the same week. Anything that changes the advice gets a dated note at the bottom of the article.
