THE REGISTER, LIVE

What the register holds right now.

As of 2026-06-20 11:20 UTC. Counts move as claims are reviewed.

SCOPE

What Radar Six tracks.

Radar Six tracks claims about GTA 6 and Take-Two Interactive across seven source families: official, regulatory, press, search, social, community, and first-party video.

Claim register

Every claim carries a verdict, a confidence score, and a named source chain. The register is public at /claim.

Source-chain attribution

Each claim records which source first carried it and which sources amplified it, with a tier label on every row.

Verdict movement

Verdict changes are audit-trailed in each claim state history with the reason and the date.

Lead-time ledger

The ledger records when a tracked outlet published a claim against the first Radar Six observation timestamp.

Kill conditions

A watching claim names the condition that would retire it before the evidence accumulates.

SCOPE

What Radar Six does not do.

The negative scope matters as much as the positive one. These boundaries are how a reader can weigh what the register says.

Not a race to publish first.

A claim is recorded when its source chain can be anchored. Speed of publication is not a goal.

Not aggregation without adjudication.

Coverage is not collected into a feed without a verdict. Every claim on the register carries an explicit verdict and confidence score.

Not anonymous-leak amplification.

Unverified leaks are not republished as fact, and primary leak material is not hosted on this surface.

Not paid or sponsored.

There is no paid promotion and no sponsored placement. Advertiser relationships do not influence a verdict.

Not partner amplification.

The @RadarSixHQ account is editorial. There is no partnership with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, no embargo arrangement, and no early access.

SOURCE TIERS

The source tier model.

Every observation is classified into a tier before it touches a claim. The tier label travels with the source on every claim card.

1. tier 1

   First-party

   SEC filings, the Rockstar Games Newswire, Take-Two investor relations, and official Rockstar and Take-Two channels. The publisher of the source is the entity making the claim about itself.

2. tier 2

   Press and original-source citation

   Major outlets that publish independent reporting with named-source attribution. Tier 2 holds a claim at corroborated until a tier 1 source lands.

3. tier 3

   Community and cohort speculation

   Subreddit threads, X posts outside the tracked cohort, and creator commentary. A tier 3 row alone anchors a claim at watching, not above it.

4. tier 4

   Noise

   Low-signal observations that are filtered at classification. Anything that does not match a known source key is dropped, not folded into a residual bucket.

The seven source families and the classification rulebook are at /sources. Per-tier reference pages are at /tier/1, /tier/2, and /tier/3.

VERDICT LADDER

What each verdict means.

Confirmed

A tier 1 primary document or official statement anchors the claim. Confidence 80 or higher.

Corroborated

Independent tier 2 sources cross-reference the claim. Confidence 60 to 79.

Watching

A single source or an unverified primary-document citation. Confidence 40 to 59.

Contested

An entry in the evidence chain contradicts the others. The claim is held until the contradiction resolves.

Killed

A kill condition fired. The claim is formally retired with a state-history entry.

The ladder is canonical and versioned in the editorial system. The live gate posture and source health are at /methodology.

CORRECTIONS

Correction policy.

The public corrections log at /corrections records the original wording, the corrected wording, the surface, the date, and the reasoning for every published correction.

Verdict changes are recorded in each claim state history with the reason and the date. A confirm or kill condition is never edited in place; its status is recorded as a marker in the event log. Conditions are named before the evidence accumulates, which keeps the audit trail intact when a claim resolves.

CITATION

How to cite Radar Six.

OPERATOR

Who runs Radar Six.

Radar Six is run by a single operator. The operator role is pseudonymous by design. Pseudonymity here is not anonymity: the same PGP key signs every identity-linked surface, and the key is published for cryptographic comparison.

Keybase

keybase.io/radarsix

Mastodon

mastodon.social/@radarsix

PGP fingerprint

FFD0 4219 D4CB E831 CBB8 8EB8 2771 6FBB C53F 5535

Pseudonymity keeps the writing about Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games, and the wider publisher cohort independent of the games-industry public-relations cycle, and it removes the legal-pressure surface a named analyst would carry. Full provenance and the verification path are at /operator.

BRAND ASSETS

Embedding

Per-claim embeddable widgets are served under /embed.

Editorial collaboration is rare and on the record. Radar Six does not accept payment for coverage and does not enter embargo arrangements.

FOR SPONSORS AND PARTNERS

Sponsorship and licensing.

The desk runs no display advertising. Two things are available commercially, and neither touches a verdict: a single disclosed sponsor slot on the weekly note, and licensing of the embeddable widgets and the claim feed for other sites and tools.

The editorial firewall is absolute. A sponsor buys placement on the container, never a verdict, a tier, or a place in the register. Every sponsored placement is disclosed in the note that carries it. Coverage stays unpaid and the standard above does not move for a partner.

Weekly-note sponsorship

One disclosed slot per issue. Inquiries to partners@radarsix.com.

Widget and feed licensing

The verdict cards and counters under /embed are free to embed with attribution. Commercial, ad-free, and high-volume terms on request to partners@radarsix.com.
