Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS — no less than ONE, no more than THREE.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail from the source article.
- EXCITING, casual, passionate tone.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Source Article:** PC Gamer article about Dead or Alive 6 delisting its original version in favor of a rerelease at 70% negative reviews on Steam. Key points: "Tecmo just sees this as the coomer franchise." Original version delisted. Rerelease at 70% negative (Overwhelmingly Negative). PC Gamer's "coomer franchise" quote. Koei Tecmo's handling of DOA over the years. Mentions IGN comparison, Kotaku tracking DOAX.
- **Old Post Content:** Already has good structure but needs to be rewritten as the DEFINITIVE version per the prompt. I'll incorporate the key facts, add excitement, ensure paragraph constraints, and format properly.
- **Constraints Check:**
- 1-3 paragraphs? Yes.
- 4-8 sentences per paragraph? Yes.
- Include EVERY detail from source? Yes (delisting, 70% negative, Steam metrics, "coomer franchise" quote, Koei Tecmo handling, IGN/Kotaku references).
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes.
- End with Source: URL? Yes.
- Also see if needed? I'll add relevant links naturally.
- Never less than one full paragraph? Yes.
2. **Deconstruct Source Article:**
- Original Dead or Alive 6 delisted on Steam.
- Replaced by a rerelease currently sitting at 70% negative reviews.
- 70% negative = "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam.
- PC Gamer headline/quote: "Tecmo just sees this as the coomer franchise"
- Context: Koei Tecmo's long-running handling of the franchise, branding choices, IGN comparison to earlier titles, Kotaku tracking DOAX.

3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (Focus on the news hook & core facts):**
You guys, I just stumbled onto a gaming news story that is absolutely bonkers and I have to share it with you all right now! The original version of *Dead or Alive 6* has been officially delisted from Steam in favor of a brand new rerelease, and get this — that rerelease is currently sitting at a whopping 70% negative review score, which Valve officially categorizes as "Overwhelmingly Negative." It is honestly so frustrating to watch Koei Tecmo essentially yank out a perfectly good version of the game and replace it with a polished-over clone that the community is already actively rejecting before most of us have even bought it. PC Gamer perfectly captured the collective vibe of fighting game fans by calling out the publisher with the line, "Tecmo just sees this as the coomer franchise," which is simultaneously hilarious and brutally accurate for a series that keeps leaning heavily into its more... enthusiastic marketing while the actual combat mechanics gather dust. I am absolutely loving how this plays out because it feels like such a bold, if slightly misguided, move by a publisher that clearly wants to modernize the IP without actually listening to the players who have been supporting it for decades.
*Check constraints:* 5 sentences. Fits 4-8 range. Covers delisting, 70% negative, Steam metric, PC Gamer quote, Koei Tecmo, fighting game context. Tone is excited
