§03 · Methodology

Four statuses. Nothing in between.

The line between them is the line between fact and forecast.

Confirmed

Primary source · Cited

A statement attributable to Epic, Psyonix, an Epic executive on the record, or another party with authority over the subject. Linked to its original source. No interpretation added.

~

Estimated

Projection from pattern

A reasonable extrapolation from prior cadence, prior products, or a partial statement. Always shown with the basis. Treated as the editorial team's best guess — not as a fact about the future.

Rumor / Deprecated

Reported · Not standing

Reported by secondary outlets without primary confirmation, or a previously stated fact that no longer applies. Held visible so readers can see what we are not endorsing and why.

Unknown

No public information

Nobody with authority has said anything we can cite. We surface the question anyway, because pretending there is an answer is the failure mode of every other site covering this beat.

Editorial Independence

No advertising, no affiliate programs, no early-access privileges. Operating costs are disclosed annually.

Corrections Policy

Errors are corrected within 24 hours, dated, and preserved in a public changelog. Original text is struck, not deleted.

Source Standard

A statement is only "Confirmed" when the primary source remains live and on the originating domain at fetch time.
