Dunno why, probably some trickery on pcgamesn, the actual headline was fine when I read it through RSS update, it was fine when I’ve open the article… but then Lemmy suggested the scummy headline (and I didn’t notice) that pcgamesn was still hiding somewhere. I had to manually fix the title, I guess this is a scummy trick for reddit instead: you can’t edit titles over there
Edit: for those confused, you can still read the usual scummy clickbait title in the post content over there
I’m always of two minds about this. I get why people hate headlines that hide the content but at the same time most Internet people would just read the headline and never click the article or read it.
Journalist need to make a living too and since magazines subscriptions are no longer a thing, it’s about clicks and Internet ads and I don’t see any redditors or Lemmy users going out and contacting 2K publishing to get verification that these two games were coming back.
Edit: case in point, I just posted a state of Linux on steam at 2% and the top comment was “does it break out steam OS”, which if they simply RTFA, would have seen the breakout within the third paragraph.
