Sources and Fact-Check Log
Every volatile number on this guide should match a row here. The check date for this revision is October 23, 2026.
I would rather show two conflicting official lines than delete one. The player-count row is the model.

Questions
How fresh is a “last verified” line?
It means the cited page was compared on that date. It is not a promise that Steam will not change tomorrow.
Do you archive the pages?
Not yet. The URL and the date are the record until a snapshot system exists.
