Labeling rule
Steam community announcements from FLEXUS are treated as official source material because they are first-party posts attached to the game’s Steam presence. Press coverage can still be useful, but it stays labeled Press unless the underlying fact is separately confirmed by FLEXUS.
That distinction matters most for release timing, player milestones, platform support, demo status, and multiplayer claims. If a press story says more than the official source, this page keeps the extra detail out of the confirmed record.
