Who makes it
GameFound is made and run by one person. There is no company behind it and no editorial team; it is an independent side project that grew into a site. If something is wrong or missing, the contact page reaches the person who can fix it.
What it is for
Most game sites answer one question each: the review score, the price on one store, the playtime. GameFound puts those answers on a single page so you can decide whether to buy a game, when, and where, without the tab hopping. The deals page tracks discounts across stores, the release calendar shows what is coming out each month, and trending shows what people are looking at right now.
Where the data comes from
- Game data (titles, release dates, platforms, genres, summaries, covers, screenshots, videos, time to beat, multiplayer modes, languages, companies, critic ratings) comes from IGDB.com, the Internet Game Database owned by Twitch, through its API. IGDB is community-maintained: corrections made there reach GameFound automatically.
- Prices and deals come from IsThereAnyDeal, which tracks store prices across Steam, Epic, GOG, Humble, Fanatical, Green Man Gaming and others. Prices are shown as reported at the last sync and may differ from the store at the moment you buy; the store's own page is always the authority.
- Trending is IGDB's popularity data: how many people are looking at each game on IGDB and, for Steam titles, how many are playing.
GameFound adds the parts that exist nowhere else in this form: the combination on one page, the facts paragraph on each game, the deals segments and the release calendar. It does not write reviews and does not generate text about games with AI.
How often it updates
- Game data: changes made on IGDB arrive within minutes through IGDB's change notifications; a full pass over the catalogue runs regularly to catch anything missed.
- Prices and deals: refreshed every hour.
- Trending: refreshed every six hours.
- The release calendar and the browse pages reflect the data above as it changes; pages are cached for a few minutes.
Independence
GameFound is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of the publishers, developers or platform holders whose games it lists, nor by any store. Game titles, covers, screenshots and store names belong to their respective owners and are shown to describe and identify the games. GameFound is not affiliated with IGDB, Twitch or IsThereAnyDeal; it uses their data under their API terms, with attribution on every page.
The site may show advertising and may earn a commission from some links to stores; neither changes which games are listed or how they are ranked. See the terms and the privacy policy.
