Not only is that headline’s grammar exceptional(ly bad), for a moment I thought the developer of Control was named Alan Wake. Like, how did they manage to butcher that so badly?

News headlines aren’t limited by space on physical paper anymore. If your headline is confusing because of traditions based on outdated limitations it’s not a good headline imo.

Your opinion doesn’t outweigh decades of an entire industry

That headline would have been rejected decades ago.

K. Nor do industry traditions invalidate my opinion.

If that’s they meant, there would have been a comma after “Control developer” I believe.

This is not the place for commas. This calls for a slash.
Alan Wake / Control developer agrees

That’s a perfectly normal headline composition.

That doesn’t mean it’s good.

Sure, but “good” is subjective. I had no confusion from the headline and like that it was direct and to the point.
