## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need PC gaming-specific news — releases, patches, hardware, Steam — from trusted enthusiast outlets (PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, PCGamesN). Prefer it over general gaming news endpoints (e.g. GameSpot/IGN) when the audience is PC-first and technically literate. Ideal for Discord gaming bots, deal-tracking agents, or daily briefing pipelines focused on the PC platform.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match nothing in the freshness window
- Invalid 'since' duration format causes parameter rejection
- Source filter typo (e.g. 'pcgamer' vs 'pcgamer') returns no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 if x402 micropayment not attached
- Stale cache may delay very recent articles appearing
