Editorial Policy

How LootVora researches, writes, and publishes guides, news, reviews, and setup content.

LootVora is committed to publishing gaming content that is clear, useful, accurate, and based on reliable information.

Our editorial coverage is organized across Guides, News, Reviews, and Setup. Each type of content follows standards appropriate to its purpose while sharing the same commitment to accuracy, transparency, and useful information for players.

Research and Sources

We prioritize primary and authoritative sources whenever they are available. These may include official developer and publisher websites, patch notes, game documentation, support pages, official announcements, and information published through official game channels.

When primary sources do not provide enough information, we may consult established gaming publications, reputable specialized databases, and other relevant sources.

Community discussions may also help identify player experiences, emerging issues, or topics worth investigating. Community claims are not treated as confirmed facts without appropriate supporting evidence.

Guides

Our guides are designed to help players understand game systems and find practical information efficiently.

Depending on the subject, guides may cover progression, characters, heroes, weapons, builds, resources, events, strategies, game mechanics, and other relevant systems.

Because games change over time, guides may be reviewed and updated following significant patches, balance changes, new seasons, expansions, or other developments that affect their accuracy.

News

Gaming news can change quickly. Our news coverage prioritizes timely information while maintaining appropriate source verification.

For announcements, updates, patch notes, release information, maintenance, events, and similar developments, we seek confirmation from official sources whenever possible.

Rumors, leaks, and unconfirmed information are not presented as established facts. When uncertainty is relevant to a story, it should be made clear to readers.

Reviews

LootVora reviews use a structured editorial framework designed to evaluate games consistently across several areas.

Our review process considers factors such as gameplay and systems, content and longevity, technical state, player reception, critical reception, monetization, and value.

Review scores represent LootVora's editorial assessment based on the information available at the time of evaluation. Scores may be revisited when substantial changes to a game materially affect the original assessment, particularly for live-service titles.

A detailed explanation of our scoring framework is available on our Review Methodology page.

Setup Content

Our Setup coverage focuses specifically on in-game configuration, including sensitivity, controller settings, crosshairs, graphics options, keybinds, FPS, performance modes, and related settings.

Recommendations are based on the characteristics of the game, available settings, current game information, and the purpose of each configuration.

Settings are not presented as universally optimal when results depend on hardware, input devices, playstyle, personal preference, or changes to the game.

Accuracy and Updates

We aim to verify important factual claims before publication and to use the most current reliable information reasonably available.

Gaming information can become outdated as developers release patches, rebalance systems, change progression, introduce new content, or modify game mechanics.

When a significant change affects an existing article, we may update the content to reflect the newer information. Where appropriate, articles may display publication or update dates to help readers understand when the content was last reviewed.

Corrections

If we discover a material factual error, we aim to correct it promptly and appropriately.

Readers are also encouraged to report potential inaccuracies or outdated information through our Contact page.

More information about how we handle reported errors and corrections is available in our Corrections Policy.

Editorial Independence

Advertising, affiliate relationships, partnerships, or other commercial arrangements do not determine our editorial conclusions or review scores.

Editorial coverage is selected and prepared according to its relevance to LootVora's audience and editorial scope.

Where a commercial relationship requires disclosure, we aim to make that relationship clear to readers.

Content Standards

LootVora does not knowingly publish fabricated quotes, invented statistics, false claims of testing, or unsupported statements presented as established facts.

When an article discusses information that cannot be independently confirmed, the level of certainty should be communicated appropriately.

Our goal is to give players useful information while maintaining a clear distinction between verified facts, reported information, analysis, and editorial assessment.
