Players Who Write,
Not Writers Who Play
GamePireNews was built by a small group of gamers who kept landing on guides clearly written by someone who had never opened the game. We decided to do it properly — every guide, tier list, and walkthrough on this site comes from someone who has actually put the hours in.
It Started With One Too Many Useless Guides
GamePireNews exists because our founder Marcus spent an evening looking for a proper Roblox tier list and found nothing worth reading. Every result was either a recycled list from six months ago, a YouTube transcript with no real context, or a page that clearly hadn't been touched since the last major patch.
He knew a few people from gaming communities who actually understood the games they played and could write clearly about them. That small group became the GamePireNews team. The idea was simple: only cover games you have logged real time in, only publish guides you have personally tested, and never fake expertise you don't have.
We launched in 2024 and that original standard still applies to every single piece of content on the site.
How We Write Every Guide
No shortcuts. No summarising other sites. Here is exactly how a piece of content gets from idea to published on GamePireNews.
We Play Before We Write
Nobody on our team writes about a game they haven't spent meaningful time in. Before a guide gets assigned, the writer needs to actually know the game, the mechanics, and what a player at that stage is genuinely confused about. Surface-level familiarity isn't enough.
We Test Every Claim In-Game
If a guide says a certain build performs better in late-game, someone on the team has run that build in late-game. If a tier list ranks a character at S-tier, that ranking comes from actual matches, not from copying another list. We don't publish what we haven't personally confirmed.
We Write for the Reader, Not the Algorithm
Our guides skip the obvious. If you already know how to open the inventory, we're not going to walk you through it. We focus on the parts that actually cause confusion — the things that took us time to figure out when we were playing.
We Update After Patches
When a developer drops a significant update, we go back to the relevant guides and tier lists, re-test what changed, and update accordingly. The date you see on a guide reflects when someone last verified the content was still accurate.
Guides for Every Type of Gamer
Game guides are the core of what we do, but the site covers a lot of ground. Tier lists, walkthroughs, tech setup guides, honest gear reviews, and buying guides all come from the same place — writers who know what they're talking about because they have played and tested it themselves.
The People Behind GamePireNews
Four writers. Real gaming backgrounds. You're reading work from people who actually play the games they cover, not people assigned to write about them.
Marcus Reid
Founder & Lead WriterMarcus has been playing Roblox games seriously since 2018 and got frustrated enough with the state of gaming guides to build a better resource. He oversees all published content, handles site development, and still personally writes the guides for games he knows best.
Aisha Powell
Gaming Writer & Tier List EditorAisha has been writing about games for several years and focuses primarily on tier lists and character guides. She plays competitively in several Roblox titles and brings genuine ranking experience to every list she publishes. She will not approve a tier list she hasn't personally verified.
Daniel Cross
Tech Writer & PC SpecialistDaniel built his first gaming PC at fifteen and has been helping people configure and troubleshoot setups ever since. He handles all hardware reviews, tech guides, and buying recommendations. Nothing gets published under his name without hands-on testing first.
Priya Nair
Content Editor & Guide ResearcherPriya reviews every guide before it goes live, checking accuracy against her own in-game experience and making sure nothing reads like it was written by someone who skimmed a wiki. She also handles reader feedback and flags content that needs updating after patches.
Three Things We Will Not Compromise On
These aren't marketing lines. They are the actual standards that have slowed us down at times, and we think that's fine.
Accuracy Over Volume
We have held back guides that were mostly done because one section needed more testing. Publishing something half-right wastes the reader's time and damages their trust. We would rather publish less and have every piece be genuinely useful than fill the site with content that falls apart under scrutiny.
No Paid Recommendations
Nobody has paid to be included in our buying guides, tier lists, or reviews. Our recommendations reflect what the team actually thinks based on their own testing. If something didn't perform well, we either say so plainly or don't cover it at all. Advertiser relationships do not influence editorial decisions.
Only Cover What We Know
We don't assign a guide to a writer who hasn't played the game. We don't publish tier lists based on community consensus alone. We don't write reviews from spec sheets. Everything published here comes from someone who has spent genuine time with what they are writing about.
Found Something Wrong? Want to Suggest a Guide?
We read every message we get. If something in a guide is outdated, a tier list ranking doesn't make sense to you, or you want to suggest a game we should cover — use the contact page. We usually reply within a day.
