. Plain text. No markdown? Fine. Potential issue: "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included "Pete Donaldson listed as regular co-host" from material. "dated 9 October 2026" from material. "ad-free and extra-content options through VGC's Patreon" from material. "DealbreakerJ and QuickSave Games produced this installment" from material. Good. "major podcast platforms" from material. "second-hand PS5 Pro" from material. "games media industry's current condition" from material. "Ape Escape's revival" from material. "PlayStation's push to bring back older properties" from material. "which classic series are most wanted" from summary. Good. Need maybe "under 120 words total" yes 94. Context under 90 yes 61. Good. Need "2 short paragraphs" in expanded. Yes. Need "entirely original wording, never copying source phrasing." We have some phrases: "Ape Escape's revival" is source phrase? It says "Ape Escape getting a revival". "games media industry"
