      It having official in the title has nothing to do with whether it’s a Valve game or a mod, though. It just means that it’s a trailer released by the developer themselves and not some random person, that’s all that official means.

          The meaning is contextual.

          Exactly: and it says “official trailer” — separated from the rest by a fancy hyphen just like what I have used. The context is quite clear that it’s the trailer that’s official, and thus the meaning is quite clear as well.

      It makes me not want to play the mod for their manipulative use of the word in their advertising.

          I like how you replied without actually addressing what I said, nor emphasizing what it is I “missed”. Seems kind of pointless, no?

              Not my job to make your argument for you. I made my response based on what you said. If you want to reword or emphasize something relevant go ahead. Otherwise it just sounds like “No, you, um totally misunderstood me! Ya, that’s it! I’m not going to tell you how though, just keep re-reading it until you agree with me!”

      This is all you failing to understand something very simple.

      It’s the official trailer for the mod, that’s all it means.
