Hello, I’m Zane Mercer, the sole contributor to GameGeeked. My journey with video games began 25 years ago with the Super Nintendo, and since then, my passion for gaming has only grown.
In 2011, I founded a website called The Xtreme Pulse, which I and my team grew to about 30,000 visitors a month. I purchased the domain and accounts for TheGamerStudio from the pervious owner. We rebranded The Xtreme Pulse to TheGamerStudio, and it continued to grow. However, due to family and personal reasons, I made the difficult decision to close the site.
Despite these challenges, my goal has always been to build a trustworthy site where money doesn’t influence the content. Inspired by this vision, I launched GameGeeked to provide honest, transparent, and unbiased coverage of the gaming industry, with a special focus on indie games and game development using Unreal Engine.
A Commitment to Integrity
At GameGeeked, I believe that integrity and transparency are essential. I strive to offer reviews and articles that reflect my genuine opinions and experiences. I aim to highlight the creativity and innovation of indie developers while providing valuable insights for my readers.
The Indie Gaming Scene
The indie gaming community is a vibrant and dynamic space filled with unique and groundbreaking titles. My goal with GameGeeked is to shine a spotlight on these games and their developers, providing them with the recognition they deserve.
Transparency and Honesty
At GameGeeked, I am committed to maintaining transparency with my readers. Whether it’s disclosing any potential conflicts of interest or being upfront about the sources of review copies, honesty is a core principle that guides my work.
Independence from Corporate Influence
In today’s media landscape, many larger corporate media sites are often biased due to financial influences. These companies may prioritize revenue over truthful and unbiased reporting, which can lead to compromised content. At GameGeeked, I operate independently, ensuring that my reviews and articles are free from such biases. My goal is to provide readers with genuine and trustworthy content that they can rely on.
Why GameGeeked?
GameGeeked is more than just a gaming site; it’s a platform dedicated to fostering a community of like-minded enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and effort behind every game. Here, you’ll find in-depth reviews, insightful articles, and the latest news in the indie game development world.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s celebrate the world of gaming together!
