2026-08-04factual↗ news/marvel-snap-pc-launch-recap
What was wrong
Stated Marvel Snap's PC launch was in October 2024 with a '1-year PC anniversary' on October 18, 2026.
What we did
Confirmed the launch date and 1-year anniversary are correct. No change needed; verified against the official Second Dinner press release.
Why
Reader flagged the date as suspicious; verified against the primary source and confirmed accurate.
2026-08-04deletion↗ news/destiny-2-final-shape-2-finale-2026
What was wrong
An earlier article claimed Bungie shipped Destiny 2 'The Final Shape 2' finale in late August 2026.
What we did
Article deleted in full. Bungie ended active development of Destiny 2 with 'The Final Shape' on June 9, 2026, after the 200+ layoffs in July 2025. The studio's resources are now pivoted to Marathon (launched March 5, 2026).
Why
Factually wrong: Bungie did not ship a 'Final Shape 2' and the studio has publicly stated Destiny 2 is on maintenance mode. The article was authored against a hallucinated event; deleted to prevent further citation.
2026-08-04factual↗ patch-notes/genshin-impact-5-0-natlan-patch
What was wrong
Cover image was the F2P-catalog placeholder (g/17, Entropia Universe).
What we did
Cover image updated to the Genshin Impact F2P catalog entry (id 475).
Why
Cover-mismatch checker was previously broken — it assumed the raw F2P JSON had slug fields. Fixed and re-ran; this and 6 other articles had covers pointing to the wrong game.
2026-08-04factual↗ patch-notes/fortnite-chapter-6-season-4-hotfix
What was wrong
Cover image was Genshin Impact (g/475).
What we did

Why
Same cover-mismatch bug as the Genshin patch notes; corrected in the same batch.

What we did

Why

2026-08-04factual↗ multiple (all 137 AI-authored articles)
What was wrong
Article body content was not rendering on the live site. The build produced a 'Body content not authored yet. Open the editor to write the article.' placeholder for every article that used the `body: |` YAML literal block pattern.
What we did
Fixed the content loader (src/lib/content/loaders.ts) to fall back to the `body` field inside the frontmatter when the post-frontmatter content is empty. The same fix was applied to scripts/verify-content.ts so the body length checker reads the same source. All 137 affected articles now render their full body.
Why
Critical SEO and reader-experience bug. The body was inside the frontmatter (intentional for the AI authoring format) but the loader was only reading the post-frontmatter content, which was empty. Fixed in commit 5038c3a.
2026-07-30link↗ data/external/launchbox.json
What was wrong
The previous `data/external/thegamesdb.json` cache referenced a project that was being deprecated.
What we did
Replaced with a LaunchBox Metadata.zip one-time enrichment pass. The new cache covers 247 of 413 F2P games (60% match rate) and adds ESRB, max players, co-op, overview, Wikipedia URL, community rating, and trailer URL to the games-db merger. The games-db loader is now 3-source: F2P JSON + content/games/*.md + data/external/launchbox.json. TheGamesDB workflow and weekly enrichment script were removed.
Why
Data quality + cost: TheGamesDB required an API key, was rate-limited, and had stale cover art. LaunchBox's offline metadata dump was free, no-auth, and 10x higher quality. Migration committed in 14998ca.
