'''Gamerpedia''' is a wiki about all things video games, so think about it as like Wikipedia but from the perspective of video games.

With that said, please note that the wiki is not focused on politics, and any real-life video game politics or in-game politics covered here should be based on objective proof over political biases. | '''Gamerpedia''' is a wiki about all things video games, so think about it as like Wikipedia but from the perspective of video games.
