Authority is ranked before anything is written. Files and pages published by the studio or the publisher come first, followed by material an expert has validated on the record. Derived catalogues and community write-ups can point us towards a subject, and they are read with interest, but they never become the reason a statement appears on a page.
Where a game has not shipped, nothing is written in the plain present tense. A statement is tied to who published it and when, so it stays true afterwards: an announcement made in August remains an announcement made in August, whatever the game turns into at launch. A game that changes on release day is maintenance, not an error.
Where nothing has been published, the gap is named. Numbers are never rounded into place, missing values are never filled with a plausible one, and a field the sources leave open is shown as open. Saying nothing is always available to us; guessing is not.
What a source establishes and what players do with it are kept apart. A verified figure sits with the page that published it, and practical guidance is presented as guidance. Advice is welcome on these pages, but it is never dressed up as a published fact.
A page reaches search results only once its written work is finished. Records may exist in the catalogue well before that, and until the writing is complete they stay out of search rather than being offered as finished work. The rule is applied by the build itself, not by memory.
Machines check what machines can check: page structure, languages, dates, internal links, the completeness of the site plan, the wording of published text, and that every stated fact still points at a live source. The pages an authority publishes are archived and compared regularly, so a silent change on their side surfaces here rather than going unnoticed.
None of that replaces judgment. Opening a game to readers is a human decision, taken after the sources and the coverage have been reviewed, and it is taken once per game rather than once per site.
Corrections come first. If a page reports something a source never published, or credits the wrong one, write to contact@gamensei.com with the page address and what you read. That is enough to open a correction, and a factual error is the message we most want to receive.
