Are you able to address the time format used in the API articles endpoint?

http://www.gamespot.com/api/articles

The time it returns is in 12 hour format with no timezone.

Example, for this article:

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-remake-walkthrough-chapter-5-dogge/1100-6475897/

the API returns a time and date of: 2020-04-10 01:09:00

Which is neither AM nor PM and has no timezone.

Using that to display an "ago" or time/dateis either going to be:

-12 hours off

Correct,

+12 hours off (depending on timezone)

It is really not at all helpful.
