Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2009 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113578511. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2010, 2025 and 2026.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
