Not surprised. Another example is minecraft related queries. Im searching with the intention of eventually going to a certain wiki page at minecraft.wiki, but started to just read the summaries instead. It will combine fan forums discussing desired features/ideas with the actual game bible at minecraft.wiki - so it mixes one source of truth with one source of fantasy. Results in ridiculous inaccurate summaries.

I find its tricky with games, especially ones as updated as frequently as Minecraft over the years. I've had some of this trouble with OSRS. It brings in old info, or info from a League/Event that isn't relevant. Easier to just go to the insanely curated wiki.
