PhonePlayers Editorial Team

Editorial

The shared byline for work produced by more than one person, and for evergreen resources that are maintained over time rather than written once. Anything published under this profile has been researched against primary sources, written by a person, and read by a second person before it went live. Where an article depends on firsthand play, it carries an individual byline instead.

Expertise

  • Mobile-first game coverage
  • Live-service and update analysis
  • Free-to-play monetisation
  • Code verification
  • Editorial standards and corrections

Disclosures

PhonePlayers is published alongside Clashest, Brawlest, Bloxism and Pokémonism, which are owned by the same people and are linked from this site where they are the better destination for live data. That is a commercial relationship and we say so on every page it appears. No publisher has supplied review access, hardware, currency or payment for any article currently published. There are no affiliate relationships in place today; if that changes, the affiliate disclosure page will say so before any affiliate link is published.
