Our Mission
Built by Gamers, for Gamers
Glitchora was founded in Sydney in 2020 by a group of friends who were frustrated with gaming media that felt disconnected from the Australian experience. We wanted reviews that accounted for local server performance, pricing context, and the games that actually mattered to the OCE community.
Today, Glitchora is Australia's fastest-growing independent gaming publication, with over 120,000 monthly readers and a dedicated team of reviewers, journalists, and esports analysts spread across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
We believe in editorial independence. No publisher has ever influenced our review scores, and we intend to keep it that way.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Editorial Independence
Our review scores are never influenced by advertisers, publishers, or PR relationships. Period.
Australian Perspective
We review games through an Australian lens — server performance, regional availability, and community relevance all matter.
Esports First
We champion Australia's competitive gaming scene, from grassroots LAN events to international championships.
Community Driven
Our readers shape our coverage. We listen to feedback, cover the games you care about, and amplify community voices.
