Comment: Most of the information in the article is unreferenced, and inline citations to reliable, independent sources need to be added. Unverifiable information should be removed. There are still major issues with the prose quality, which still reads as promotional and needs to be more encyclopaedic. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 18:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
