About gg!db
gg!db is a public, source-linked knowledge base of the game industry — companies, products, people, and platforms — extracted from the daily gg! newsletter. Every entity links to the stories that mention it; every story links to the edition it ran in (when it ran). It's a quiet research tool, not a news site — the newsletter is the news; gg!db is the structured layer underneath.
How the data flows
Each weekday morning, gg! pulls a few hundred game-industry stories from RSS and the open web. A small AI pipeline filters them down to the editorially-relevant set, summarizes each one in 20–40 words, and routes them into one of seven sections (Top Stories, Business & Finance, Studios & People, Games & Releases, AI/Tech & Tools, Policy & Labor, Culture & Community).
During that summarization step, the pipeline also extracts structured entities — every company, studio, product, person, or platform named in the story — and links them across the broader corpus. That's what you're browsing here: not a generic catalog, but a record of who gg! has been writing about, and which stories they showed up in.
A human (James) reviews and approves each edition before it sends. gg!db includes both approved stories that ran in a newsletter and extracted stories that didn't quite make the cut — the "in newsletter" badge differentiates the two.
What's in v1
Today gg!db exposes entities, the stories that mention them, the editions those stories ran in, and a short list of related entities (computed from co-occurrence in the same stories). Extracted relationships ("X acquired Y", "A works for B") are intentionally hidden in v1 — the LLM-extracted predicate vocabulary needs a deeper review before we surface it. They'll come back in a future version.
Entity coverage is whatever the gg! pipeline has organically picked up since launch. That means there are gaps — especially in B2B middleware (PlayFab, Beamable, Wwise, FMOD, Photon, Easy Anti-Cheat). Coverage tends to follow newsletter activity; quieter weeks for a vendor mean a quieter page here.
Reporting issues
Found an entity that's miscategorized (PC Gamer is a publication, not a company), a wrong description, a missing alias, or anything else worth flagging? Drop a line to gg-db-report@hypervisor.studio. Reports go directly to the gg! editorial team — no triage queue, no ticket number, just a person reading and fixing.
Who runs it
Built and maintained by the gg! editorial team. The newsletter is written by James Jennings; gg!db is a sibling artifact built off the same pipeline.
