    I am so tired of those click bait articles. Can’t they stop writing sensational titles like this and simply state the name of the game?

      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

      Rollerdrome is the name of the game in the picture.

      Could also talk about Olli Olli World which also go delisted at the same time.

      But I am not clicking on the article to double check.

      but then the whole contents of the news would be in the headline, you wouldn’t need to click then, and then they wouldn’t get to show you ads!

      I get that they need ads to stay in business, but man the clickbait titles are still annoying :/
