  Convoluted headlines is their trademark and I love it.

    I wish they DID trademark it so half the gaming news websites didn’t follow suit

    It feels very…corporate. Forced casual

      For what it's worth, this has always been their style (I started reading them in 2010), even before the Eurogamer acquisition in 2017 or so.

      I agree that it does feel more forced now, they a bit more subtle and tasteful back in the day.

        Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline

      I hate it. It’s always stupidly cringe, overly wordy, and just makes me feel dumber for having read it.
