This Editorial Policy explains how https://www.meltingtopgamesblog.co.uk/ creates, reviews and updates its gaming content.
1. Our purpose
Melting Top Games Blog publishes gaming news, reviews, recommendations and practical guides covering PC, PlayStation, browser games and new releases.
Our goal is to provide clear, useful and honest information that helps readers discover and enjoy games.
2. Editorial standards
We aim to ensure that our content is:
- Accurate and supported by reliable information.
- Written clearly and without unnecessary exaggeration.
- Independent from advertisers, affiliate partners and game publishers.
- Updated when significant errors or important changes are identified.
- Clearly distinguished from advertising or sponsored material.
Writers must not knowingly publish false, misleading, copied or fabricated information.
3. Sources and fact-checking
We prefer primary sources such as official developer announcements, publisher websites, platform listings, patch notes and direct statements.
Secondary sources may be used when they are credible and relevant. Rumours, leaks and unconfirmed reports must be clearly identified as such rather than presented as established facts.
Before publication, we aim to verify important details such as release dates, platforms, prices and system requirements. Because gaming information changes frequently, readers should also confirm time-sensitive details with the relevant publisher or platform.
4. Reviews and recommendations
Reviews and scores represent the author’s genuine opinion based on the information and experience available at the time.
A review should explain, where relevant:
- The platform tested.
- Approximate time played.
- Whether the full game or an early version was reviewed.
- Whether access or a review copy was provided.
- Significant technical limitations encountered.
- The reasoning behind the final verdict or score.
We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, favourable score or guaranteed recommendation.
Rankings and “best games” lists should use reasonable criteria such as gameplay quality, performance, accessibility, value, originality and suitability for the intended audience. Commercial relationships must not determine ranking positions.
5. Commercial relationships
The Website may earn money through advertising, sponsored content or affiliate links.
Sponsored content will be clearly labelled. Affiliate relationships will be disclosed near the relevant content or links where required. Receiving payment, free access, review codes or products does not guarantee favourable coverage.
Editorial contributors should disclose relevant personal, financial or professional relationships that could influence their work. Content may be reassigned or include a disclosure where a conflict exists.
6. Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence tools may be used to assist with tasks such as research organisation, transcription, idea development, proofreading or formatting.
AI-generated information must be reviewed by a person before publication. We do not intentionally publish unverified AI output as factual reporting or use AI to fabricate gameplay experience, quotations, sources or review results.
Materially AI-generated images or media should be identified where their nature may not be obvious to readers.
7. Corrections and updates
When we discover a significant factual error, we aim to correct it promptly. Minor spelling, grammar and formatting changes may be made without an editorial note.
Substantial corrections should be identified within the article when appropriate. Updated articles may display a revised date.
We do not remove accurate content solely because a person or company dislikes its conclusions. However, we will consider reasonable concerns involving accuracy, privacy, copyright or legal rights.
8. Reader and community content
Comments, ratings or submissions from readers must not be fabricated, purchased or misleadingly incentivised. Where community content is enabled, we may moderate spam, abuse, undisclosed promotional material and suspected fake reviews.
9. Contacting us
To report an error, request a correction or raise an editorial concern, use our Contact page. Please include the article URL and explain the issue clearly.
This approach reflects current UK expectations that reviews and incentivised content should be genuine, accurate and transparently disclosed.
