GameThrum corrects factual errors promptly and explains material changes clearly.
How to request a correction
Use the method on our Contact page. Include the page URL, the statement in question, why it may be wrong, and a primary source or reproducible evidence if available. We review good-faith requests from readers, developers, publishers, and platform representatives under the same evidence standard.
What happens next
- We preserve the request and current page state.
- An editor checks the claim against the original source, current first-party sources, and the test record where the claim is experiential.
- We correct confirmed errors in the maintained source and page.
- We add a visible correction note when the error could materially affect a player’s decision or understanding.
- We recheck related metadata, tables, summaries, and structured fields so the old claim is not left elsewhere.
Correction, clarification, and update
- A correction fixes something wrong. Material corrections state what changed and the date.
- A clarification improves wording that was accurate but reasonably ambiguous.
- An update adds new information, such as a patch or platform release. It should not hide that the earlier version was wrong.
Minor spelling, formatting, or link repairs may be made without a note when meaning does not change.
Reviews and disagreements
A developer’s disagreement with a supported judgment is not automatically a factual error. We will correct inaccurate facts, misquoted sources, wrong test details, and unsupported generalizations. We may clarify an opinion when its evidence or scope was unclear, but we do not promise a preferred verdict.
Retractions
We may remove or substantially retract content when its central evidence is unreliable, rights or safety issues cannot be cured, or the page would remain misleading after a narrow correction. A retraction notice should explain the reason without repeating harmful or private material.
Recordkeeping
Internal correction records include the request, decision, evidence, editor, timestamps, and affected fields. We never use a silent timestamp change to imply that an article was substantively rechecked.
