How sources are classified

Not every link means the same thing

A source type communicates evidentiary role. The interface does not convert publisher announcements into independent reviews or event placement into awards.

Official media

Original third-party publication

Used for the IGN-hosted trailer and the exact context in which IGN published it.

Steam

Platform record

Used for product identity, Next Fest participation, demo context, and Steam release record.

Publisher

First-party production record

Used for Gamescom lineup inclusion, release announcement, and publisher relationship.

Independent coverage

Editorial publication

Used as independent English-language release coverage without inflating it into critical acclaim.

Platform data

Private primary reporting

Used for dated wishlists, impressions, and store visits while keeping commercial reporting private.

Archive rule

Dead links remain traceable

Source metadata is preserved and any archived replacement must be deliberately reviewed rather than silently substituted.

Private evidence boundary

Public result. Private commercial reporting.

Approved aggregate metrics can be stated publicly while the underlying administrative exports remain in a separate evidence archive.

STUDIO STATEMENT May 2026

Cursed Studios

Project status update

Studio record of the end of the indie.io publishing agreement and the retirement of the title. No third-party publication covers the change.

PLATFORM DATA August 16, 2026

Steamworks

Dated platform reporting snapshot

Private source archive supporting the public wishlist, impression, and store-visit aggregates without exposing commercial reporting.

Not published Revenue, units, refunds, chargebacks, contracts, private correspondence, and unrelated Steam administration details are excluded from the public site and client bundle.
