Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Eurogamer
It ranks mainly on source trust: Eurogamer is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. 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 | 0.80 | +0.200 48% | Eurogamer 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 | 0.41 | +0.082 20% | 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.
What happened
Yesterday, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Forbidden West mysteriously disappeared from the Steam store in the UK. There was no announcement about this move, nor any indication it would happen before players began noticing that neither game was listed on the digital storefront. Users that did not own the games were left unable to purchase them, however people that already had the Sony Interactive Entertainment-published titles in their libraries were still able to boot and play the games.
