Same but you would have had to have known that there was backlash.

I personally think that these types of headlines are fine. Yes the headline is provocative with the wording but honestly they have to be a bit because if they don't then they don't get anyone to view their story. No views, no money and the whole cow, milk, and giving it away for free comes into play.

Click the damn link and give the journalist a some ad revenue because these guys also need to earn a living while most of us commenting, at least in this side of the world, we're also making a living while having the luxury to read gaming news during work hours too and honestly, I don't see anyone that's complaining about the headline stepping up to the plate and providing any of their own original content and descriptive headlines that give you the whole story.

The "intent" of the title is to leave out context, to let readers jump to more clickbaity conclusions.

You yourself are saying "I got it right based on this additional detail I already knew".

To me the title suggests the dev made the DLSS design intentionally worse, to generate controversy and now he is happy with the result.

The text actually explains that the devs just heard about the DLSS 5 alterations and were happy people loved the old design so much. Nothing controversial from him, not even intentional new designs.

Sounds like you got it right at first glance and I didn't. However, often these titles are intentionally misleading as to generate more outrage "you should be mad at the developer for creating controversies and being smug about the outcry". Not a fan of those manipulative tactics in modern journalism or whatever it calls itself currently.

It removes enough context to enable other interpretations. Such as "all publicity is good publicity, who cares that they didn't like it".

It basically allows people to get it wrong, while technically still matching the original intent. This way, at least some people will jump to conclusions that are more clickbaity.

You got it right. But I, and clearly a lot of others, raised our eyebrows.

It doesn't really have much to do with the game, it was a tech demo by Nvidia with ai overlay that completely changed the look of the game. But it was also everywhere for like a week when it happened; surprising you are seeing this post here if you didn't see the Nvidia reaction. Unless you're a bot. 🤷

Yes, a headlines purpose is to manipulate you into reading the article.
