## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, real-time game development news from trusted industry sources (Unity, Unreal Engine, Game Developer, GameFromScratch). Prefer it over general news endpoints when the user's query is specifically about game engines, asset stores, studio tooling, or game-trade analysis rather than broader entertainment or tech news. It is especially useful for agents that need to monitor game dev trends, track engine releases, or brief stakeholders on the game industry.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'src' enum value returns a validation error
