Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it in public. This page declares how — and is where corrections will be logged as they happen.
Last updated
Every publication makes mistakes. The ones worth trusting say so out loud, describe the process before they need it, and keep a public record of what got fixed. This page is that record — and the description of the workflow that produces it.
What we treat as a correction
A correction is a fix to something that was wrong when published. That includes:
- A factual error — a wrong spec, date, version number, price, or quote.
- A misattributed source or invented quote.
- A claim that wasn't supportable when we made it.
- A headline or lead paragraph that materially misrepresents the article.
What we treat as an update (not a correction)
The Steam platform moves. A guide written in March stops being accurate by October because Valve shipped a SteamOS update, a game got Verified, a Proton version released, or a price changed. We mark those as updates with a dated note — they don't trigger the corrections workflow because nothing was wrong when published.
How a correction is published
- The article gets a dated note at the bottom describing exactly what changed.
- If the original claim was in the headline or lead, those are rewritten too.
- An entry is added to the log on this page with the URL and a one-line summary.
- For misattributed or invented quotes, the source gets a public apology in the article.
We do not silently rewrite history. If a paragraph changed materially, the correction note says so.
Take-down requests
We don't remove articles on PR request. If a story contains a factual or legal error, we correct it. If a story is accurate but inconvenient, it stays up. Legal disputes go through the contact page.
How to report a correction
Contact us with the article URL and the specific fact in dispute. Include a source where possible. Substantive contributions are credited in the correction note.
