The Play Bulletin Open the first card

What a play bulletin proof leaves off the card

Checked: which requested fields were absent on 16 October 2026. Result: no install counts on any card; no price on four cards; no advisory text on Sneaky Sasquatch, WHAT THE GOLF?, and Royal Match; no star histogram. Those gaps stay empty.

Price

Royal Match printed Gratis. Ridiculous Fishing EX, Grindstone, WHAT THE GOLF?, and Sneaky Sasquatch returned no formatted price and no number. The home filter splits on that fact. Guessing a storefront programme name is out of scope for this proof.

Counts and charts

The rating count is not a download count. The bars on the home page are the average divided by five, because that is the only distribution figure we can draw without inventing a histogram. If the card later shows a five-to-one breakdown, a future check can add it. This one does not.

Seller URLs exist for some cards and not others. Royal Match prints dreamgames.com. Grindstone prints capybaragames.com. WHAT THE GOLF? prints whatthegolf.com. Sneaky Sasquatch prints sneakysasquatch.com. Ridiculous Fishing EX returned no seller URL. The absence is recorded the same way as a missing price: omitted, not replaced with a search link.

Feature flags are another partial field. Four cards list Game Center. Royal Match does not. The proof mentions the flag only where a note needs to explain that it is not a rating. It is not turned into a column on the home table, because a boolean feature is easy to over-read.

Icons and stills are present for all five, so the pages use them. If a card had returned no screenshot, the frame would be left out. A coloured rectangle with the app name would be a placeholder, and this proof does not draw placeholders. The wide Sneaky Sasquatch still is a real asset with a short height. It is not a broken portrait.

Byte sizes were divided by 1024 twice and rounded to one decimal: 318.9, 432.7, 987.7, 296.3, 437.5. Those are presentations of the card's byte field, not a second measurement. A store page that shows a whole number of megabytes may differ by a few tenths. The next check can note that rounding if the card's own label is visible. This pass used the byte count because that is what the lookup returned in full. No download total was hiding in another field. The absence is the finding.

Seller URLs are uneven. Royal Match prints dreamgames.com, Grindstone prints capybaragames.com, WHAT THE GOLF? prints whatthegolf.com, Sneaky Sasquatch prints sneakysasquatch.com, and Ridiculous Fishing EX returned none. The missing URL is omitted. It is not replaced with a search. Feature flags are partial too: four cards list Game Center and Royal Match does not. That boolean is not a home-page column, because it is easy to over-read as a score.

A histogram of five stars down to one star was not on the lookup. The home bars are only the average divided by five. They are labelled as such. They are not a breakdown the store refused to show in another tab we skipped.
