Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is gamespress.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns gamespress.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for gamespress.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
