Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. All sales and player‑count figures are attributed to secondary outlets — eoto.tech, gamingbolt.com and insider‑gaming.com — with no primary source such as Steam’s official charts or a direct S‑Game statement cited. The launch date, concurrent‑player peak, all‑time ranking and the 4 million‑copy claim each rest on a single report from one of those outlets. Independent verification from the platform holder or the publisher has not yet been provided.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
