A small label can produce a big comparison error.
Some publishers label the operating-system field “OS *”, others simply “OS”. Our comparison matches the underlying field, while each game record retains the original publisher text. A footnote marker is not a missing specification.
A game without recommended requirements is shown as not stated. We do not turn the minimum into a recommendation, translate a model name into an FPS estimate, or claim a hardware combination was tested.
