    Seeing G*mers get upset and try to boycott Sony for this.

    Then go on to pump money into Helldivers and Palworld on Steam.

    Absolutely brain rotted.

            Apparently is used when the person speaking wasn’t previously aware of something, regardless of how much coverage it received within it’s own niche.

            So yes, it was. You can now go find something else to uselessly and incorrectly pedant over.

                Your source.

                used when the real situation is different from what you thought it was:

                Do they not teach reading comprehension in whatever country you hail from?

                  used to say you have read or been told something although you are not certain it is true:

                  Apparently it’s going to rain today.

                  Apparently he’s had enough of England and is going back to Australia.

                  used when the real situation is different from what you thought it was:

                  You know I told you Alice’s party was on the 13th? Well I saw her last night and apparently it’s on the 14th.

                  She looks about ten, but apparently she’s 10.

                  I thought they were married but apparently not (= they are not married).

                  Do you not see the difference?

                  Starting the sentence with “Apparently” is you casting doubt over the proceeding information.

                  Using it mid sentence after giving information as a correction would meet the definition you cherry picked. Which would mean you do know about the Sony deal.

                  But who am I to try and correct and Yankee, clearly you lot are the absolute authority on everything. And it’s my fault for not instantly understanding what you meant (despite it following zero established rules)
