About Us

Welcome to Outsider Gaming, your go-to source for in-depth gaming guides, gaming news, and features. We analyze mechanics, obsess over lore, crunch numbers, and debate tier lists so you don’t have to (but, let’s be real, you’re probably going to anyway).

Since the beginning, our goal has been simple: to produce high-quality, experience-driven content that stands out from the usual gaming blogs. We don’t just report on games—we play them, analyze them, and break them down so you can get the most out of your time spent gaming.

Why “Outsider” Gaming?

Because we’re not here to regurgitate the same tired takes. We look at gaming from fresh angles, giving you deep dives, expert guides, and thoughtful analysis—all without the corporate fluff or cookie-cutter reviews. We write for players, not publishers.

Who We Are

Outsider Gaming was founded by Ben C and Rahul M, who built the platform as a home for detailed game guides, reviews, and editorials—especially for console gamers, sports games, and beloved franchises. Over time, OG evolved, expanding its coverage and working alongside talented writers and editors to serve a growing audience.

Today, Outsider Gaming is run by Pixel Peninsula, founded by two lifelong gamers, AJ and Alan, in 2024.

• AJ is the Editor-in-Chief and General Manager, keeping the content sharp, informative, and fun.
• Alan is the CTO and Staff Writer, making sure the site runs smoothly while also contributing his gaming expertise.

Both were practically born with controllers or mice in their hands, and they’re leading OG into its next chapter with a renewed focus on expanding our coverage, deepening our analysis, and always keeping gaming fun.

Our Ambition

We’re not just another gaming site—we’re a team of passionate gamers who want to create content that actually helps people. Whether that’s improving your in-game skills, expanding your gaming knowledge, or giving you a fresh perspective on the industry, we want every piece of content to add real value.

Our editorial team ensures that all our content is clear, accurate, and accessible. We also believe in an amazing user experience—because if we’re covering the best games, our site should feel just as polished.

How We Keep the Lights On

Running a site like Outsider Gaming takes work, and yes, we do make money—but we keep it transparent:

• Ads – Like most online media, we use ads to support our site. Our ad partner, Adthrive (Raptive), connects us with advertisers to keep things running.
• Affiliate Links – Some of our links are affiliate links, meaning if you buy something through them, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
• Sponsored Posts – Occasionally, we publish sponsored content. You’ll always see a clear disclosure at the top when this happens.
• Sponsored Products – Sometimes, companies send us products to review. Our verdicts remain unbiased—if a product’s bad, we’ll say so.

We believe in keeping things honest, so you can trust our recommendations without worrying about hidden agendas.
