What is not a source
Search snippets, aggregator summaries, unattributed wiki pages, YouTube comments and AI-generated “news” sites are not treated as evidence. They can point us toward a primary source, but the claim still has to be verified there. One existing wiki run by a third party makes specific claims about demo mechanics that we could not trace to the developer; we have not repeated them.
Official screenshots are evidence of what a development build looked like. They are not evidence that a feature is present in the current demo or the release build.
Corrections
If a source changes or a claim is wrong, email [email protected]. Include the page and the source. We update the record rather than hiding the correction.
