For ease, all products sent by manufacturers and companies for purposes of conducting testing or reviews will be referred to as “Samples” in this policy article. Items which fall under the Loaner or Prototype categories must be discussed in advance. https://gamers.nexus/ethics-statements/contact-vs-no-contact monthly 0.5 2025-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64446c837f4bb47972c2c8fb/cc1cd35e-3cba-4641-82cc-ce1ab5bf4376/mrclinton_Screenshot_3.png Ethics Statements - Policies: Contact - Make it stand out From Steve: I saw Louis Rossmann’s recent video in advance and I greatly appreciate his recommendations – I have let negative comments and criticisms shove me into a box that I no longer feel the need to defend and no longer feel familiar with. For GN, we are excited to continue sticking to just hardware and news, as we discussed earlier this week. We’ve been on a roll with what I love the most, which is testing. For GNCA, I’m excited for continuing investigations and coverage in a way that I feel is right. I have become paralyzed from paying attention to the standards of others and the specifics of labels. I have decided it is best to stop paying attention to those and no longer care to please those people. Going forward, we no longer care and we will produce our coverage in our way, to our standard, and in the way we think is right. I’ll be continuing to investigate companies and expose practices we feel are bad, and in particular, practices which are damaging to consumers. For GN, we have a ton of hardware reviews and benchmarks on the way. For GNCA, we have some huge investigations in the works into new scams, some of which have affected our own staff. We are excited for these moves forward.

We also DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT TO GO TO EVENTS OR TO BOOTHS FOR COVERAGE. If we cover a product, it’s because it was interesting enough to cover. We sell normal ads to other vendors against those videos, but we never sell coverage to the company hosting the event, as that’d be a major conflict. As travel media coverage is rarely profitable, there too was a time when GN also had to accept paid flights or hotels for events; however, many years ago, we fully established our independence in this regard from manufacturers and fund our own trips. This is largely thanks to viewer support and donations via Patreon. We spent approximately $50,000 of our own money on travel for event coverage, factory tours, and traveling reports, not including travel staff wages, in 2019. It’s not cheap, but it’s the only way we want to do things as it allows us total control and agency over our schedules — no implicit quid-pro-quo parties or coverage. No bullshit time-wasting side quests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64446c837f4bb47972c2c8fb/fb891084-3f18-4d86-9bf3-02cef69c3e6e/event-report.png Ethics Statements - Travel, Hotels, & Events - Make it stand out A photo taken by industry analyst Anshel Sag while we were filming a news report from a convention show floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64446c837f4bb47972c2c8fb/e2263d4a-3a45-4d18-9d26-35b4aa2fe2e9/gn-cardboard-factory-close.png Ethics Statements - Travel, Hotels, & Events - Make it stand out The GamersNexus team with Cooler Master’s team during a tour of a cardboard factory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64446c837f4bb47972c2c8fb/22d4178c-d956-4fef-afc0-89f77be8172b/der8auer-steve-computex.png Ethics Statements - Travel, Hotels, & Events - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64446c837f4bb47972c2c8fb/04363d9e-1154-4572-82fb-d432542c4b57/travel-header-hero.jpg Ethics Statements - Travel, Hotels, & Events - GamersNexus travels for reporting, journalistic deep-dives, and educational factory tours.
