About Game Vault Forum
Independent Gaming Media • Owned & Founded by Joel Ayuba • Honest Hardware Benchmarking • Civil Community
Our Mission, Ownership & Founding Story
We started Game Vault Forum out of a simple frustration shared by so many players: too many gaming sites publish rushed two-hour impressions disguised as full reviews, or recycle press releases without ever testing how a game actually runs on real PCs and consoles after launch week.
Founded, owned, and edited by Joel Ayuba (Owner and Founder of Game Vault Forum and the Game Vault Forum LinkedIn Company Page), Game Vault Forum is both an independent gaming magazine and the home of our official YouTube channel (@GameVaultForum). Every review, strategy guide, and hardware benchmark we publish comes from our own hours playing the game, logging real frame times on our test rigs, and debating mechanics with our community.
