We ARE also taking applications from Creators (video content) who do Reviews/Previews. The process is more manual, we don't have an easy way to scrape YouTube videos, but we're happy to quickly assess channels and give access to manually add reviews. #gaming #creators

Having talked with the @criticdb.bsky.social, it's exciting to have an aggregator looking to highlight independent pubs. Awesome to be apart of the first wave of sites on the aggregator.

One thing we'd like to make abundantly clear: We do not use AI. We do not want to use AI. We do not scrape reviews to build an AI tool. We will not work with AI companies. We want to be a human-driven, community website.

As we build, it's fun to see things like @videogamercom.bsky.social's Halo 3 summary: "There is absolutely no way any Halo fan will be disappointed by this game. You better believe the Chief has triumphantly returned. Now buy the game, cock the Assault Rifle, and finish the fight." 🔥🔥🔥

CriticDB Feature - Add Games to our Database! With the sheer number of games coming out, it's essential that our users, authors, editors, and PR can add missing titles. We automate most of it - simply fill in the YouTube Trailer & Similar Games. (We review before they publish)

Review aggregators only do so much and leave gaps in the user experience. @criticdb.bsky.social, spearheaded by TechRaptor's CEO, looks to change that with a rather robust platform catering to gamers, developers, games journalists, and PR. www.loprototypetech.com/p/techraptor...
