GameBrain adds video game blocks to WordPress: a game info card, a review score\nsummary, a similar-games row and a where-to-buy price list, backed by a game\ndatabase of over 800,000 titles. Content is rendered on the server, so it is\nreal, crawlable HTML in your page \u2014 with schema.org markup that makes your game\nreviews eligible for rich results in search \u2014 and it inherits your theme's fonts\nand colors instead of looking like an embedded ad.<\/p>\n\n
Four blocks are included:<\/p>\n\n
Why GameBrain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Each block can also be added outside the block editor with a shortcode or the\nclassic widget, so it works in the Classic editor, page builders and text widgets:<\/p>\n\n Appearance is configurable site-wide (accent color, score-band colors, corner\nradius, density, surface style, max width) and per block \u2014 without editing plugin\nfiles. Advanced users can also override the documented --gb-* CSS variables and\nBEM classes from Appearance \u2192 Customize \u2192 Additional CSS or a child theme.<\/p>\n\n Full documentation with screenshots of every block:\nhttps:\/\/gamebrain.co\/api\/docs\/gamebrain-for-wordpress<\/p>\n\n External service notice.<\/strong> This plugin connects to GameBrain (https:\/\/gamebrain.co),\nan external service, to retrieve game data. Connecting from Settings \u2192 GameBrain\ncreates a free, site-scoped account; your site URL and admin email are sent to\nGameBrain at that point. Your admin email is stored by GameBrain as the account\nowner. Game data is fetched server-side and cached on your site. No data about\nyour visitors is sent to GameBrain. Disconnecting or uninstalling the plugin\nrequests deletion of your GameBrain account, including the stored email.<\/p>\n\n Attribution is optional.<\/strong> A small \"View on GameBrain\" credit link can be shown\non each block.
