Our Team Philosophy
The Completionist Mindset
Our editorial approach is built around thoroughness and attention to detail. We’re the type who spend three months exploring every corner of The Witcher 3 before writing about it. Our collective gaming credentials include being among the first to platinum challenging titles like Demon’s Souls and maintaining embarrassingly detailed spreadsheets tracking every game we’ve completed since the 90s.
“We’re tired of gaming being treated as a shallow hobby for kids or as just another entertainment medium to consume. Games are the most dynamic art form of our generation, combining storytelling, visual design, music, and interactivity in ways no other medium can. They deserve serious, thoughtful coverage that respects their complexity.”
Technical Excellence
Our coverage brings technical depth that’s rare in gaming journalism. With backgrounds spanning computer science and game development, we’re equipped to break down performance issues, analyze port quality, and explain why your favorite game keeps crashing after that latest patch.
We specialize in both console and PC gaming hardware, with a particular interest in how games push technical boundaries.
“Too many sites treat technical analysis as an afterthought. They’ll mention a game ‘has frame drops’ without investigating why or how it impacts the experience. We want to give readers the technical context to understand what’s happening behind the scenes of their favorite games.”
Community First
Our community approach comes from years of experience managing gaming communities for various publishers. Our origins trace back to LAN parties where we’d lug massive CRT TVs to friends’ houses every weekend. Now we focus on building vibrant online spaces, developing community events, and covering multiplayer games with the depth they deserve.
One of our proudest achievements was organizing a 200-person in-game memorial in Final Fantasy XIV for a community member who passed away, which was later recognized by the developers with an in-game monument.
“Gaming has always been social for us. From couch co-op to MMO guilds, the connections we form through play are what make this medium special. We want MyLeadGames to feel like coming home to your favorite gaming community—a place where passion and respect coexist.”
Our Editorial Approach
At MyLeadGames, we believe that gaming coverage should be accessible without being dumbed down. Our content philosophy rests on three pillars:
Depth Over Breadth
We’d rather publish one definitive piece than ten rushed articles. While other sites race to be first with surface-level coverage, we take the time to go deeper. Our game guides don’t just tell you what to do—they explain the underlying systems so you can make informed decisions on your own.
When major RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 release, we don’t rush out character builds based on theory. Instead, our team spends weeks testing different combinations, consulting with experts, and experimenting with unexpected synergies. The result? Build guides that become go-to resources even for veteran players.
Context Matters
No game exists in a vacuum. Our coverage considers the historical, cultural, and industry context of each title we discuss. When reviewing a sequel, we examine how it builds upon or diverts from its predecessors. For new IPs, we explore their influences and innovations within their genre.
Our retrospective series, “Gaming Archaeology,” has explored everything from the evolution of the immersive sim to the impact of Korean MMOs on modern game design. Because understanding where games come from helps us appreciate where they’re going.
Respecting Your Intelligence
We assume our readers are smart, curious, and genuinely interested in games as a medium. We won’t sensationalize controversies for clicks or manufacture outrage to drive engagement. Our headlines tell you what the article is actually about, not what will bait you into clicking.
If a game has flaws, we’ll analyze them thoughtfully rather than piling on with hyperbole. If a game does something brilliant, we’ll break down exactly why it works instead of gushing with vague superlatives.
