Play Together, Thrive Together

About Out of Games

We are a player-first newsroom covering live-service games, tabletop crossovers, and the people who keep those communities vibrant. Out of Games launched to give fans context-rich reporting, practical guides, and a welcoming destination that feels like home between ladder climbs, raid nights, and theorycraft sessions.

Community-founded and still independent.

Contributors span four time zones to keep news timely.

Our Mission

Spotlight the stories that matter to players, whether that is a patch note that upends the meta, a studio decision that impacts monetization, or a community project worth celebrating. Everything we publish serves three principles:

  • Access. Make complex systems understandable with data-backed explainers, deck tech, and beginner-friendly guides.
  • Representation. Share voices from around the world so every reader can see their passion reflected.
  • Accountability. Treat players’ time and trust as precious by verifying information and labeling opinion versus reporting.

What We Cover

Live Service & Card Games

Hearthstone, Legends of Runeterra, Marvel Snap, Whiteout Survival, and emerging contenders each have their own realms with bespoke news feeds, deck databases, and community features.

Guides & Tools

From theorycrafting spreadsheets to in-browser builders, we ship tools that help players test quickly, prep for tournaments, and collaborate with their teams.

Community Reporting

We elevate great forum threads, Discord discoveries, and community events because culture is as important as the games themselves.

Industry Coverage

Business moves, studio shake-ups, and platform policy updates all affect players. We provide the context you need to understand how today’s announcements shape tomorrow’s meta.

Transparency & Accountability

Out of Games remains independent and community-funded through advertising, premium subscriptions, and limited sponsorships. We separate those revenue conversations from editorial decision-making to keep coverage player-first.

  • Funding. Ads and premium memberships keep the lights on. Sponsored projects are clearly labeled and produced with a dedicated team. Affiliate links are clearly labeled.
  • Ownership. Out of Games is privately owned by its founders; we do not have outside investors dictating coverage.
  • Disclosure. Review hardware, travel, or digital items supplied by partners are called out in-line so readers can evaluate potential bias.
  • Corrections. A visible corrections log lives on each updated article, and we document every fix internally for auditing.
  • Data & Privacy. We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the site; details are available in our Privacy Policy.
