Editorial Policy
These standards apply to VICE//VI news, guides, databases, and social posts.
Sourcing and verification
Confirmed claims should trace to first-party material whenever possible: Rockstar Games and Take-Two announcements, official trailers, support pages, earnings materials, or verified storefront listings. Secondary reporting is used when it adds original interviews or documentation. Social posts and anonymous claims are not presented as confirmed facts.
Confirmed, leaked, and speculative information
We label information by confidence. “Confirmed” means a first-party source supports it. “Leaked” means material is not officially released and its origin is explained. “Speculated” identifies analysis or community theory. We do not rewrite speculation as news, and we update labels when stronger evidence appears.
Corrections and updates
Material errors are corrected as soon as they are verified. Significant changes should be reflected in the visible update date. Readers can report an issue to zelevservice@gmail.com; include the URL, disputed statement, and a reliable source.
AI-assisted work
Automation may help organize research, draft summaries, or prepare media, but publication remains subject to human review. AI output is not treated as a source. Claims must be checked against source material before they are described as confirmed.
Advertising and commercial independence
Advertising, affiliate links, memberships, and sponsorships help fund the site. Paid relationships are disclosed, and advertisers do not receive approval over unrelated coverage. Sponsored content is identified clearly so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work.
Copyright and fan-site status
VICE//VI is an independent fan publication and is not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We use official material only where it supports commentary, reporting, or identification and respond to legitimate rights-holder requests.
Questions about these standards can be sent to the publisher through the contact details on our About page.
