When we get it wrong, we fix it in the open
Accurate playtimes, prices, and facts are the foundation of every verdict we publish. If something is wrong, we want to know, and we’ll tell our readers what we changed.
Report an error- You report itEmail us the article link and what’s wrong.
- We verify itOur team checks your report against reliable sources.
- We fix itConfirmed errors are corrected in the article.
- We note itSignificant changes are marked on the page.
1. Our commitment
Readers use our articles to decide how to spend their time and money, so accuracy matters. Every article is researched and checked before publishing, but mistakes can still happen, and games change after release. When we find an error, or a reader reports one, we correct it promptly and honestly.
This policy works together with our editorial policy and the process on our How We Review page.
2. What counts as an error
We correct
- Wrong playtime figures or evening calculations
- Wrong prices, editions, or platforms at the time of writing
- Incorrect release dates, names, or game details
- Wrong information about patches or updates
- Misattributed quotes or sources
- Broken or incorrect links
Usually not an error
- A different opinion about a game’s quality
- Your own playtime being longer or shorter than our estimate
- A price that changed after we published
- A sale price in another region or store
We still welcome messages about anything in the second group. If many readers report a different playtime, or a price changes for good, we’ll review the article and update it.
3. How to report an error
Email contact@thebacklogbrief.com with the subject line “Correction request.” We don’t use contact forms, so email is the only way to reach us. To help us check your report quickly, please include:
- The link to the article
- The exact information you believe is wrong
- What you believe is correct
- A source, link, or screenshot that supports it, if you have one
- The game version or platform, if it matters
4. How we review reports
Our team reads every correction request. We check the claim against official sources, such as store pages, patch notes, and developer announcements, and against the data we used for the article.
- If the report is correct, we fix the article and add a note where this policy requires one.
- If we can’t confirm the report, we keep researching and may add a note that the information is disputed.
- If the original information was correct, we leave the article as it is, and we may reply to explain why.
We never ignore a report because it is inconvenient or because it affects a verdict.
5. How corrections are shown
How we mark a change depends on how much it matters to the reader’s decision.
Small fixes
Typos, grammar, formatting, and broken links that don’t change any facts are fixed without a note.
Factual corrections
When a fact was wrong, we fix it and add a dated correction note at the end of the article explaining what changed.
Correction, October 3, 2026: An earlier version of this article listed the main story at 8 hours (4 evenings). The correct figure is 6 hours (3 evenings).
Corrections that change a verdict
If an error changes our verdict or a list ranking, we add a correction note at the top of the article so readers see it first.
Correction, October 3, 2026: Our verdict has changed from “Play it now” to “Wait for a sale” after we corrected the game’s price and length.
The example dates and figures above show the format only.
6. Corrections vs. updates
A correction fixes something we got wrong. An update adds new information because the game changed, such as a major patch, new content, a permanent price change, or a new platform release.
When we make a meaningful update, we change the “last updated” date on the article. If an update changes our verdict, we explain it in the article. We don’t change the date for small edits like fixing a typo.
7. Removing content
We correct articles instead of deleting them, so the record stays honest. We only remove content in rare cases, such as a legal requirement or when an article can’t be fixed. Requests to remove content for legal or copyright reasons should be sent to info@thebacklogbrief.com, as explained in our Terms of Use.
