Who We Are:
We are gamers. We are also people. We have friends, family, school, jobs and obligations. What unites us is games, whether they are video games, card games, tabletop games or board games. TheEveryGamer.net was founded on 9/2/2014 by a group of friends who were sick of the ill treatment given to us by the gaming press. See #gamergate and #notyourshield
We were sick of it, of being treated like garbage and demonized for merely playing games and not being as socially fanatical as most of the gaming press was. We come from many political and social backgrounds and we just want to play and talk about games.
What we aim to become:
We do not wish to follow the typical format of a gaming site. Our writers will talk about what interests them and the community. We are all volunteers and thus receive no payment for our work, this is a labor of love. Rather than reviews we will offer opinion pieces, and topics covering various aspects of the gaming community. We will also talk about gaming culture, history, interviews, Let’s Plays, Streams, Podcasts, and whatever else interests us related to gaming in all its forms, without the nonsense.
We are not wealthy, nor are we professionals. We are just passionate about this community.
Guideline for our Bloggers:
1. Full Disclosure - If the blogger has any kind of relationship with the developer or people discussed in the article(i.e review copies, meeting with people online or in real life), they shall disclose that information at the beginning of the article.
2. Explain the conflict of interests - This site has multiple bloggers, each with their own opinions on various topics. There will be conflicts regarding this. If one blogger writes about a topic and later on another blogger writes about the same topic with a differing opinion, it will be made clear that those articles are written by different bloggers. If a blogger has a change of heart regarding a topic and writes an article reflecting this, they shall explain their change of heart before the article begins.
3. Limited Ideological Influence - We cannot promise no influence, that would be impossible. However we can promise that our personal politics and ideologies will not overtake the main purpose of this blog, nor will we shame or harass people for not sharing our beliefs.
4. No sponsorships aside from ads by Google AdSense.
5. No click baiting.
6. Comments will lightly moderated. Only comments that reveal personal information or obvious spam will be removed. That is it.
We are brainstorming topic ideas rights now and will be posting articles soon. Check back, and also follow us on twitter @theeverygamer
