Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in gaming that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.

| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 28% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 36% | Ign 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. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.89 | +0.177 36% | 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. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
