Sources
Nothing on this site is sourced to another fan site. Every claim traces to a storefront field, an announcement, or something a person at the studio said on the record.

How to check any of it yourself
The store record is machine readable without an account or a key: the app details endpoint returns the price, the platform flags, the supported languages and the system requirements, and the news endpoint returns every announcement in full text. Both take the appid 1867240. That is where the unlock instant on the release page comes from, and it is why that page has no separately maintained date to go stale.
Where this site says it does not know
Four questions have no published answer and are marked as such rather than filled in: crossplay and cross-progression, the Steam Deck compatibility rating, the anti-cheat product by name (deliberately withheld by the studio), and any cash payout rate beyond the single worked example on the economy page.
