The HSR Staff Count Mystery: From 700 to 500, Did Media Secretly Edit Their Article?

Recently, a report on the development scale of 'Honkai: Star Rail' sparked a commotion in the community. The issue began when players noticed inconsistencies in the staff count mentioned in a foreign media report. The original poster questioned, 'I checked the source and it explicitly states 500, so where did the 700 number come from?' along with the provided link.

Netizens quickly started their own 'field investigation.' One commenter noted that they saw 700 yesterday, but upon refreshing, it had changed to 500, finding the situation quite ironic.

To uncover the truth, tech-savvy users utilized the 'Google Cache' tool. The cache revealed that the article did indeed feature different figures in its February 23rd record. This immediately ignited controversy, with many players arguing that the media’s silent edit severely damaged the credibility of the entire piece.

The focus of the discussion shifted: some argued that those who merely translated or shared the article shouldn't be blamed, and that the media outlet should be held accountable instead. Others felt that whether it’s 500 or 700 is just a numbers game, and what really matters to players is the actual content delivery and development output.
