Editorial &
Evidence Policy
Every fact on this site is labeled with its source tier and verification status. This page explains the standards applied to all content.
Verification status labels
Verified against official sources (official site, official press release, official platform page). No hands-on testing required to publish these facts.
From official sources but not yet hands-on tested by this site. Published with a "not hands-on tested" label. Facts are accurate to official descriptions but specific interactions or values may differ in practice.
Some facts come from official confirmed sources; other points require hands-on testing or cross-checking. Clearly labeled so readers know what is solid and what is pending.
Tracks external source status (e.g., release dates from official pages). Not treated as final game facts — re-checking is required as launch approaches.
Requires hands-on demo testing before details can be published. This label means: official sources describe the feature but the specific details are not yet verified for accuracy.
Source tiers
Official game website, official press release, official platform store page. Used as primary source for all published facts.
Verified press coverage (e.g., PC Gamer, RPGamer). Used for player-pain leads and cross-checking. Labeled as press leads. Not used as the sole source for publishable facts unless confirmed by official sources too.
Reddit threads, Discord, wiki.gg, Fandom. Used only to identify SERP supply and content gaps. No community content is copied, paraphrased, or used as a publishable source of facts.

Correction policy
If a reader or the game developer notifies us of an error:
- The claim is checked against the original source-log entry
- If the source is wrong or outdated, the page is corrected and the source-log is updated
- If the correction requires hands-on testing to resolve, the claim is moved to "held" until testing confirms it
- Corrections are noted in the page's evidence badge with a new last-checked date
We do not publish unverified corrections. If a claim cannot be confirmed, it is held, not guessed.
