Editorial lead
Maya Laurent
Maya shapes the guide around the decisions Canadian readers actually make: what kind of play they want, which features matter to them and what to check before creating an account. She reviews explanations for plain language and keeps comparison criteria consistent from one category to the next. Her editorial interests include strategy and simulation games, where a small difference in pace or progression can change the whole experience.
When a description could be read in more than one way, Maya asks for a clearer distinction between a publisher’s stated feature and the team’s assessment of it. That helps readers see where a fact ends and editorial interpretation begins.
OC
Platform researcher
Owen Chen
Owen checks the details that make platforms easier to compare: browser and device requirements, advertised game features, account information and publisher updates. He looks for details on the platform itself and records when a claim needs a date or a qualification. His interests include MMO communities and ways for players to discover games without being overwhelmed by choices.
Research notes help the editors revisit a listing when a publisher changes its terms or interface. Owen also flags practical questions, such as whether a feature is described as available everywhere or only in selected titles.
SB
Reader experience editor
Sophie Bennett
Sophie reviews navigation, question-and-answer pages and the clarity of comparison summaries. She considers whether a reader can scan the page, understand unfamiliar terms and find a sensible next step without needing to guess. Puzzle games and manageable play sessions are among her interests, so she pays attention to how recommendations describe time, complexity and variety.
Reader reports are part of this work. Sophie groups recurring points, checks whether the wording addresses them and sends factual correction requests to the researcher or editor responsible for that section.
