Body excerpt
Insider Gaming, on Insider Gaming Weekly Episode 62 (video podcast featuring four panelists including Tom Henderson), walked back the May 18 preorder timing read from their May 14 article. The panel characterised a May 18 preorder open as very unlikely while maintaining their position that the Best Buy affiliate email itself is legitimate. The panel pointed to the May 21 Take-Two Q4 earnings call as the more likely GTA-related event window. The segment runs around minute 44:40 to 45:34 of the video. The desk treats this row as an audit correction to the May 14 tier_2 amplification carry (srcobs_b33f0bd3cf001f426e796f0a) at the same outlet. observed_at is derived from the YouTube relative timestamp of 23 hours ago at operator capture on 2026-05-16, placing the broadcast around 2026-05-15 21:00 UTC.
