About LootWire
Learn what LootWire is, how its automated gaming and Twitch data works, and how the project separates verified data from estimates.

What LootWire is
LootWire is an independent gaming information project operated as part of NodachiLab. It is designed to make fast-moving information easier to understand: free-to-claim games, temporary free access, deals, demos, Twitch activity, badges, Drops, events and gaming news.
Instead of mixing different offers together, LootWire separates them by what they actually are. A permanently free-to-play game is not labeled as a temporary free game, a demo is not treated as a full release, and subscription access is not presented as “free.”
Automated where possible
Many sections are generated from store APIs, public catalog endpoints, Twitch APIs, public campaign indexes and publisher feeds. Data is cached to reduce unnecessary requests and improve reliability.
Automation does not mean certainty. Prices, availability, viewer counts and campaigns can change quickly, so LootWire always encourages verification on the original source.
Human rules around the data
LootWire does not knowingly invent missing dates, prices, campaign requirements or rankings. When a source does not expose a value, the interface should say that it is unknown, unavailable or awaiting verification.
See the Data & Editorial Policy for the rules used to classify and present information.
Independence and trademarks
LootWire is not affiliated with Twitch, Valve/Steam, Epic Games, GOG, Nuuvem, game publishers or other third-party platforms unless a specific partnership is clearly disclosed. Product names, logos, game artwork and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
