Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — PC Gamer
It ranks mainly on source trust: PC Gamer is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. Hacker News also has it, but tier-3 aggregators never count toward corroboration — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 32% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.75 | +0.188 44% | PC Gamer is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.53 | +0.105 25% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2 — Hacker News appears on this story and counts for nothing. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
