Hello! We've just published a revised editorial policy for Eurogamer.net - the page formerly known as How We Work. This document covers the philosophy, practices and ethical standards of our reporting and reviewing here at Eurogamer, and explains how we handle the relationship with the commercial aspects of our business (such as advertising) and our parent company, Gamer Network.
The revised policy is based on the previous version and very close to it in spirit; it underlines Eurogamer's proud 15-year tradition as an independent gaming website with high standards of accuracy and professionalism, clear separation of editorial and commercial activities, and thorough attention to detail in everything we do. There are some substantial revisions and additions to the previous version which have been prompted by a couple of things in particular: Gamer's Edition, a new Gamer Network venture announced today that crowdfunds physical special editions of digital games; and the new review system (without scores) that we introduced last month. It's a pretty long read, so here's a quick guide to what's changed and why.
You can read more about Gamer's Edition in our coverage of the announcement. In short, Gamer's Edition will produce physical special editions of games that wouldn't otherwise get them, using a preorder system based on a crowdfunding model with a minimum number of orders - ensuring that Gamer's Editions will only be manufactured if there's a big enough demand from the games' communities. The first Gamer's Editions are of Hotline Miami and its sequel, and Papers, Please.
