Why even bother reading El Basado?
Probably no reason at all. I’m just a gamer who’s fed up with paid reviews, scammy marketing practices and anti-consumer schemes, looking to provide a genuine, unbiased opinion on what is going on in the industry that other outlets can’t afford to.
Are there paid articles?
There will never be paid articles on El Basado. No compensation of any kind will be taken for favors of any kind.
Only my subjective, unbiased, unfiltered opnions.
How does El Basado make money?
It doesn’t. I work a full time job and all the expenses come out of my personal funds. I don’t expect to ever see any revenue coming from the site.
Are there ads?
There will never be ads on the site. No user information will be collected. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t expect to make any revenue from doing this.
Can we comment/critique the articles?
You are encouraged to. Comments will never be turned off on this site, and freedom of speech will always come first.
Do you write all the articles yourself?
For the most part. I will sometimes deem appropriate to upload an article written by someone I personally know if they can give better context on the topic. Each article states it’s author at the top.
Is AI used for writing the articles?
Everything you read is hand-typed by a human. AI will never be used to write articles on this site in any capacity.
You have reviewed my game unjustly...
That sucks. Feel free to reach out at
[email protected] and I will pin your statement at the bottom of the article.
Regardless of that, it won’t change my review.
Who made you the expert?
Nobody. I’m just a guy who’s been gaming for 20+ years and worked in the industry as well.
Can I support El Basado?
You don’t have to. However, if you want to, share an article with your friends. Maybe one day I’ll create a Patreon or Buy me a coffee
