Skeldrift is a Steam-focused gaming and technology publication operated primarily from Germany and the European Union. Skeldrift is part of the StrongMocha News Group.

This editorial policy explains how we choose topics, structure information, use AI, correct mistakes, and separate informational coverage from commercial influence.

Editorial Focus

Skeldrift focuses on practical, informational coverage for people who play, manage, configure, or research Steam games and Steam-related hardware.

Our main editorial areas are:

  • Steam Deck OLED and second-hand Steam Deck LCD education
  • Steam Machine and living-room SteamOS gaming
  • Steam Frame, SteamVR, OpenXR, standalone VR, and wireless streaming
  • SteamOS, Proton, Steam Input, compatibility badges, and game launch behavior
  • Steam account safety, library management, cloud saves, Remote Play, and store features
  • PC gaming hardware concepts, setup education, display terminology, controllers, networking, and storage
  • Accessibility, comfort, readability, safety, and responsible troubleshooting

AI Content Creation

All Skeldrift content is created with AI systems.

AI is used for drafting, outlining, rewriting, structuring, topic expansion, glossary work, and editorial maintenance. The site’s editorial direction, quality framework, and publishing standards are guided by the StrongMocha News Group team.

Because AI-generated content can be wrong or incomplete, Skeldrift uses the following editorial principles:

  • Prefer clear explanations over unsupported claims.
  • Separate confirmed facts from interpretation.
  • Use official sources where possible for platform, hardware, compatibility, and policy information.
  • Avoid pretending uncertain information is certain.
  • Update or correct content when credible errors are identified.
  • Do not publish technical instructions that require risky action without warnings and context.

Sourcing Standards

For technical and platform coverage, we prefer primary or authoritative sources, including:

  • Official Steam and Steamworks documentation
  • Official product pages
  • Official manufacturer support documents
  • Developer documentation
  • Public changelogs, patch notes, and release notes
  • Platform compatibility pages
  • Reputable technical references

Community discussions can be useful for understanding user experiences, but they should not replace official documentation when the article depends on a technical fact.

Informational Content

Skeldrift prioritizes informational articles, explainers, troubleshooting guides, setup guides, glossary pages, and platform education.

When we publish guides, we aim to make clear:

  • What the article is about
  • Who it is for
  • What assumptions it makes
  • What risks or limitations apply
  • When readers should check official documentation or support

Corrections and Updates

We welcome correction requests. If an article contains an error or important omission, contact:

corrections@skeldrift.com

Correction requests should include:

  • Article URL
  • The sentence, section, or claim in question
  • Why it may be wrong or outdated
  • A source or explanation supporting the correction

When appropriate, Skeldrift may update the article, add context, clarify wording, or publish a correction note.

Independence

Skeldrift is independent. We are not operated by Valve, Steam, Amazon, or any hardware manufacturer.

We may cover companies, platforms, stores, games, developers, and devices that are commercially important to our readers, but editorial coverage should remain focused on clarity, usefulness, and reader trust.

Conflicts and Commercial Influence

Skeldrift’s editorial pages should not be written to mislead readers, hide uncertainty, or disguise commercial intent. Any commercial relationship that may affect links or purchases should be disclosed in the appropriate disclosure page or article context.

Reader Safety

Skeldrift avoids instructions that encourage unsafe device modification, account abuse, piracy, cheating, DRM circumvention, unauthorized access, or security bypassing.

Troubleshooting and configuration articles should help readers understand legitimate options, limitations, and official support paths.
