Methodology

How policies are sourced and dated

We quote the publisher’s own page, in the language it was published, with a link and a “Checked” date. When a publisher publishes the same policy in several languages, we show the version that matches the page language and keep the others.

Our short summary sits under the quote and is labelled “Our summary, not legal advice”.

Policies change. When a policy was last checked more than 180 days ago, the page says so. Check the publisher’s page before you stream.

What the policy labels mean

Our editors choose one of four fixed labels from the quote, and the quote is always shown next to it:

• “Publisher policy allows streaming and monetized videos (see quote)”: the quote permits streams and monetized videos.
• “Allows with conditions”: streams or videos are permitted with conditions, for example on spoilers, music or commercial use.
• “Restricts”: the quote limits streams or videos.
• “No published policy found”: we did not find an official policy.

Streamer mode

We record whether the game has a setting that mutes or replaces music that can be claimed: Yes, Partial (some tracks may still be claimed), No, or Not confirmed. Each value has its source.

What a user report is and is not

A user report is a streamer’s own account of a claim, a muted VOD, a strike or blocked monetization. It is anonymous and published only after a moderator approves it. It is not verified with YouTube, Twitch or the publisher, and it does not say who is at fault.

How we moderate reports

We approve a report when it is plausible: a real game, a date that is not in the future, a coherent event and no abuse or personal data.

We edit only to remove personal data, links, insults or allegations, never to change the meaning, and every edit is logged.

We reject reports with a reason: duplicate, not a claim, implausible, personal data, abusive, off topic or spam. We aim to decide within 3 days.

Counters on game pages count approved reports only.

When a game page is complete

A game page is listed in search engines only when it has a published policy with a quote, a source and a checked date, a streamer-mode value and a description written natively in that language.
