Publication threshold
We publish an update only when a reliable, developer-controlled source is available. Acceptable sources include an official Steam news post, developer patch-note page, or authenticated developer announcement. Community posts may help discovery but cannot be the sole source.
Three information states
Official information
Claims directly supported by the linked source. We paraphrase accurately and preserve important qualifiers, platforms, dates, and version identifiers.
Editorial summary
Our concise explanation of significance. Interpretations are presented as analysis, not as developer statements.
Unconfirmed information
Unverified claims are not included in a published update. If an official source itself marks a detail as tentative, we retain that status and wording.
Corrections and updates
Substantive changes update the article's “Last updated” date. Corrections should be made transparently in the article body when they alter a reader's understanding.
Quotations and copyright
We favor original summaries and short, necessary quotations. We do not reproduce full patch notes, proprietary artwork, or game images without permission.
Automation oversight
Automation may discover sources and prepare drafts, but validation rules must pass before publication. Unsupported details, inaccessible sources, duplicate slugs, and malformed dates block the workflow.
